وَعَن أبي خزامة عَن أَبِيه قَالَ سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رُقًى نَسْتَرْقِيهَا وَدَوَاءً نَتَدَاوَى بِهِ وَتُقَاةً نَتَّقِيهَا هَلْ تَرُدُّ مِنْ قَدَرِ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ: «هِيَ مِنْ قَدَرِ الله» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Abu Khizama said that his father asked God’s messenger, “Tell me whether invocations we invoke, medicine we apply and caution we practise can avert anything God has decreed.” He replied, “They are a part of God’s decree.’ Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Takhrij:
[سنن ترمذي 2065]
Hadith Authentication:
The chain of narration for this report is weak.
No one besides Imam Tirmidhi has declared Abu Khuzamah to be trustworthy (thiqah). Since Imam Tirmidhi was lenient in grading narrations as authentic (sahih) or good (hasan), therefore, unless another reliable hadith scholar supports his assessment, the narrator remains unknown (majhul) or criticized (majruh). In the present case, Abu Khuzamah is a narrator whose status is unknown (majhul al-hal) and he is not a Companion (sahabi). If, however, this narration is proven authentic, then it serves as evidence for Ahl al-Sunnah that the belief in divine decree (qadar) is true.

Explanation:
1:
That is, their success is according to Allah’s decree (taqdeer ilahi).
Therefore, one should adopt the means,
but one should not believe that these means change destiny,
because Allah does not change His decision.
Note:
(There is confusion (idtirab) in its chain of narration.
That is, “Abu Khuzamah,
from his father” or “Ibn Abi Khuzamah,
from his father.” Also, is Abu Khuzamah a Tabi‘i or a Sahabi?
If “Abu Khuzamah” is a Tabi‘i, then his status is unknown.
If he is a Sahabi, then his son is “Ibn Abi Khuzamah.”
See: Tuhfat al-Albani 344)
