4699. It was narrated that Ibn Ad-Dailamī said: "I came to Ubayy bin Ka'b and said to him: 'I am confused about Al-Qadar (the Divine Decree). Tell me something by means of which Allāh may take away (this confusion).' He said: 'If Allāh wanted to punish the people of His heaven and the people of His earth, He would punish them, and He would not be unjust to them, and if He bestowed His Mercy on them, His Mercy would be better for them than their deeds merited. If you were to spend the equivalent of Uḥud in gold in the cause of Allāh, Allāh would not accept it from you unless you believed in Al-Qadar (the Divine Decree) and understand that whatever befalls you could never miss you, and whatever misses you would never befall you, and if you died believing something other than this, you would enter the Fire.'" He said: "Then I went to 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd and he said something similar." He said: "Then I went to Ḥudhaifah bin Al-Yamān and he said something similar." He said: "Then I went to Zaid bin Thābit and he narrated something similar to me from the Prophet ﷺ." (Sahih)
