Those who speak about destiny; a servant cannot test his Lord
Hadith 73
قَالَ ابْنُ طَاؤُوْسٍ: وَالْمُتَکَلِّمَانِ فِی الْقَدْرِ یَقُوْلَانِ بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ، اَلْکَلَامُ فِی الْقَدْرِ، قَالَ: وَلِقَی اِبْلِیْسُ عِیْسَی بْنَ مَرْیَمَ، فَقَالَ لَہٗ: اَلَیْسَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ اَنَّہٗ لَا یُصِیْبُكَ اِلَّا مَا قُدِّرَ عَلَیْكَ، فَارِقْ بِذُرْوَۃِ الْجَبَلِ فَتَرْدٰی مِنْہٗ، فَانْظُرْ اَتَعِیْشُ اَمْ لَا؟ فَقَالَ عِیْسٰی: اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَقُوْلُ: اِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَا یَنْبَغِی اَنْ یُّجَرِّبَنِیْ، وَمَا شِئْتُ فَعَلْتُ.
Ibn Tawus, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Those who speak about predestination speak without knowledge. Speaking about predestination—he said: Iblis met ‘Isa ibn Maryam, peace be upon him, and said to him: Do you not know that only what is written in your destiny will happen? Go to the top of the mountain and throw yourself down from there, and then see whether you remain alive or not. So ‘Isa, peace be upon him, said: “Allah says: It is not appropriate for a servant to test Me; I do whatever I will.”
