Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "For one of you to take a live coal in his fist and hold it until it cools is better for him than to say about a matter which Allah Almighty has decreed: 'Would that it had not happened.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, al-Mas'udi, whose memory had become confused (ikhtilat).
