وَعَن أبي هُرَيْرَة قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَتَنَازَعُ فِي الْقَدَرِ فَغَضِبَ حَتَّى احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّمَا فُقِئَ فِي وجنتيه الرُّمَّانِ فَقَالَ أَبِهَذَا: «أُمِرْتُمْ أَمْ بِهَذَا أُرْسِلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلُكُمْ حِينَ تنازعوا فِي هَذَا الْأَمر عزمت عَلَيْكُم أَلا تتنازعوا فِيهِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ من حَدِيث صَالح المري وَله غرائب يتفرد بهَا لَا يُتَابع عَلَيْهَا قلت: لَكِن يشْهد لَهُ الَّذِي بعده
Abu Huraira said: God’s messenger came out to us when we were arguing about God’s decree. He was angry and his face became so red that it looked as if pomegranate seeds had been burst open on his cheeks. He then said, “Is this what you were commanded to do, or was it for this purpose that I was sent to you? Your predecessors perished only when they argued about this matter. I adjure you, I adjure you, not to argue about it.” Tirmidhi transmitted it

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
Belief in predestination (qadar) is obligatory,
that is, to hold the conviction that Allah Ta'ala is the Creator of the good and bad deeds of the servants, and their occurrence is according to Allah's decree (qada wa qadar), His will, and His intention,
and Allah has complete knowledge of them,
however, the actual occurrence of these matters is by the servant's own choice,
but Allah Ta'ala likes good deeds,
and dislikes bad deeds,
and it is on the basis of this choice that He gives reward and punishment,
Delving into and debating the issue of predestination with reason is not permissible,
because there is no benefit in it; rather, there is a risk of misguidance.
