Arabic text

٢١٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ ‌حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا اسْتَعْمَلَهُ» فَقِيلَ: كَيْفَ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: يُوَفِّقُهُ لِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Man derives his ability to perform virtuous deeds from Allāh. Then again, it is Allāh who is the final arbiter and judge of those deeds. We must, therefore, keep on praying to Allāh for grant of ability to do such deeds and that He favor them with His approval and acceptance.
