Hadith 6
اُردوEn
- " أجعلتني مع الله عدلا (وفي لفظ: ندا؟!) ، لا، بل ما شاء الله وحده ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), argued with him about something, and said: "Whatever Allah wills and you will." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you made me an equal to Allah? Rather, say: Whatever Allah alone wills."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefit:
When a Muslim says the phrase:
“Whatever Allah wills and so-and-so wills,”
the intended meaning is that matters are in Allah’s control, but outwardly the matter appears to be in so-and-so’s control and his decision will be acted upon.
This understanding is correct, but the wording is such that it seems as if Allah and a human are making a decision together. Therefore, one should avoid such expressions whose apparent meaning is inappropriate, even if the speaker’s intention is not that inappropriate meaning.
