① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
إذا سمعتم الرجل يقول: هلك الناس فهو أهلكهم
"When you hear a person saying 'People are destroyed,' then he is the most destroyed among them all."
Reference: Muslim, Kitab al-Birr 4 / 2024, Abu Dawood, Kitab al-Adab 4983.
Abu Ishaq رحمه الله states, I do not know whether the fatha on the kaf in "أَهْلَكَهُمْ" means "He destroyed them" or the kasra on the kaf in "أَهْلَكُهُمْ" means "He is the most destroyed among them all."
① Sayyiduna Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه narrates from the Prophet Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, who said:
لا تقولوا: ما شاء الله وشاء فلان، ولكن قولوا: ما شاء الله ثم شاء فلان
"Do not say 'Whatever Allah wills and whatever so-and-so wills,' rather say: 'Whatever Allah wills, then so-and-so wills.'"
Reference: Abu Dawood, Kitab al-Adab 4980, Musnad Ahmad, remaining Musnad al-Ansar 449/5, Hadith 23327.

Reference: Bukhari, Kitab al-Adab 6180, Muslim, Kitab al-Alfaz min al-Adab wa Ghayriha 2251/17.
② It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha رضي الله عنها that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
