Musnad Ahmad 705 — Musnad of Ali ibn Abi Talib
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَأَيْقَظَنَا لِلصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَصَلَّى هَوِيًّا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَنَا حِسًّا ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْنَا ، فَأَيْقَظَنَا ، وَقَالَ : " قُومَا فَصَلِّيَا " ، قَالَ : فَجَلَسْتُ وَأَنَا أَعْرُكُ عَيْنِي وَأَقُولُ : إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا ، إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللَّهِ ، فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا ، قَالَ : فَوَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ، وَيَضْرِبُ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ : " مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا ، مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا ! وَكَانَ الإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلا سورة الكهف آية 54 " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us at night and woke us up for prayer, then went to his own room and began to pray. After a long time had passed and he did not hear any movement from us, he came again and woke us up and said: "Stand up and pray." I sat up rubbing my eyes and said, "We can only pray that which has been written for us, and our souls are in Allah's possession; when He wants to wake us, He wakes us." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply to me and went back. I listened carefully and heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) striking his hand on his thigh and saying, "We can only pray that which has been written for us. Man is indeed very argumentative."
