Hadith 2155

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ : قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ فَلَقِيتُ عَطَاءَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ ، إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْبَصْرَةِ يَقُولُونَ فِي الْقَدَرِ ، قَالَ : يَا بُنَيَّ ، أَتَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَاقْرَإِ الزُّخْرُفَ ، قَالَ : فَقَرَأْتُ حم { 1 } وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ { 2 } إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ { 3 } وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ { 4 } سورة الزخرف آية 1-4 ، فَقَالَ : أَتَدْرِي مَا أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ ؟ قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ كِتَابٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ ، وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْأَرْضَ فِيهِ إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَفِيهِ تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ : فَلَقِيتُ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَا كَانَ وَصِيَّةُ أَبِيكَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ ، قَالَ : دَعَانِي أَبِي، فَقَالَ لِي : يَا بُنَيَّ ، اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتَّقِيَ اللَّهَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ كُلِّهِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ ، فَإِنْ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا دَخَلْتَ النَّارَ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْقَلَمَ ، فَقَالَ : اكْتُبْ ، فَقَالَ : مَا أَكْتُبُ ؟ قَالَ : اكْتُبِ الْقَدَرَ مَا كَانَ ، وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ "، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
´Abdul-Wahid bin Sulaim narrated:` "I arrived in Makkah and met 'Ata bin Abi Rabah. I said to him: 'O Abu Muhammad! The people of Al-Basrah speak about Al-Qadar.' He said: 'O my son! Do you recite the Quran?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then recite Az-Zukhruf to me.'" He said: 'So I recited: Ha Mim. By the manifest Book. Verily, We have made it a Qur'an in Arabic that you may be able to understand. And verily, it is in the Mother of Book with Us, indeed exalted, full of wisdom. Then he said: 'Do you know what Mother of Books is?' I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said:'It is a book that Allah wrote before He created the Heavens, and before He created the earth. In it, it is (written): Fir'awn is among the inhabitants of the Fire, and in it is: Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!'Ata said: 'I met Al-Walid the son of 'Ubadah bin As-Samit the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and asked him:'What was your father's admonition when he died?" He said:"He called me and said: 'O my son ! Have Taqwa of Allah, and know that you will never have Taqwa of Allah until you believe in Allah, and you believe in Al-Qadar- all of it-its good and its bad. If you die upon other than this you shall enter the Fire. Indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: "Verily the first of what Allah created was the Pen. So He said: 'Write.' It said : 'What shall I write?' He said : 'Write Al-Qadar, what it is , and what shall be, until the end.'"

Explanation:
1:
And this is what predestination (qadar) is.
So then, why deny predestination? Whether it concerns sustenance (rizq) or human actions, Allah has written everything from the very beginning.
The only difference is that, regarding sustenance, He has written it by His own will,
and regarding actions, He has written what He knew about the future actions of a person based on His knowledge of the unseen (ilm al-ghayb); in this matter, He has not compelled anyone.
