(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ
نَافِعِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ
قَيْسَ بْنَ الْحَجَّاجِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ
حَنَشًا حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ
ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " يَا غُلَامُ ، إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا ، احْفَظْ اللَّهَ يَحْفَظْكَ ، احْفَظْ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَكَ ، إِذَا سَأَلْتَ ، فَاسْأَلْ اللَّهَ ، وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ ، فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ ، فَقَدْ رُفِعَتْ الْأَقْلَامُ ، وَجَفَّتْ الْكُتُبُ ، فَلَوْ جَاءَتْ الْأُمَّةُ يَنْفَعُونَكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَكَ ، لَمَا اسْتَطَاعَتْ ، وَلَوْ أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَضُرَّكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ ، مَا اسْتَطَاعَتْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that one day he was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O boy! I am teaching you some words: Guard Allah (His commandments), Allah will guard you. Guard Allah, you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask from Allah. When you seek help, seek help from Allah. And know that if the whole world gathers together to benefit you, they cannot benefit you except with what Allah has written for you. And if they gather together to harm you, they cannot harm you except with what Allah has written for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."
