Bayhaqi 3649 — Those who said that is up to Allah, Mighty

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ أُدْرِكُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: " نَعَمْ فَصَلِّ ⦗٤٣٠⦘ مَعَهُ " فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: فَأَيَّتُهُمَا أَجْعَلُ صَلَاتِي، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: " وَذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ؟ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى يَجْعَلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا شَاءَ ".
Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a man asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): I pray in my house, then the prayer is being held in congregation; should I pray with the imam? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Yes, pray with the imam. He said: Which of the two should I make my obligatory prayer? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Is that up to you? That is from Allah; He makes obligatory whichever He wills.
