Musnad Abi Ya'la 366 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَأَيْقَظَنَا لِلصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَصَلَّى هَوْنًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَلَمْ نَسْمَعْ لَهُ حِسًّا، قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْنَا فَأَيْقَظَنَا، فَقَالَ: «قُومَا فَصَلِّيَا»، قَالَ: فَجَلَسْتُ وَأَنَا أَعْرُكُ عَيْنِي، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: وَاللَّهِ مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا، إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بَيْدِ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا، قَالَ: فَوَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَقُولُ، وَيَضْرِبُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ: «مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا، مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا»، قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ {وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا} [الكهف: 54]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) at night and woke us for prayer. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went back to his house and prayed for part of the night, and we did not perceive any sound from him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us again and, waking us, said: "Get up and pray." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I sat up rubbing my eyes and said: By Allah, we pray only what Allah has decreed for us; indeed our souls are in the grip of Allah's power, and when He wishes to wake us, He wakes us. Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his back and went away, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was striking his thigh with his hand (in amazement) and saying twice: "We pray only what has been written for us; we pray only what Allah has written for us." And along with that he recited this verse: "And man is, more than anything, given to dispute."
