(13). 3005. 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was supplicating against four people, so Allāh, Blessed and Most High, revealed: Not for you is the decision; whether He turns in mercy towards them or punishes them; verily they are the wrongdoers.[1] So Allāh guided them to Islām." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīḥ, being Gharīb from this route as a narration of Nāfi' from Ibn 'Umar. Yahyā bin Ayyūb reported it from Ibn 'Ajlān.

Commentary
This Verse and these Aḥādīth prove that the Prophet ﷺ did not have full authority over the universe, nor had he the power of causing benefit or harm. The Full Authoritative, Omnipotent, the Master of benefit and harm, is only Allāh. The people against whom the Prophet ﷺ would invoke, they were destined to embrace Islam in Allāh's plan; due to which Allāh stopped him from making the supplication.
