2144. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “A slave (of Allāh) shall not believe until he believes in Al-Qadar, its good and its bad, such that he knows that what struck him would not have missed him, and that what missed him would not have struck him.” (Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Ubādah, Jābir, and ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr.
This Hadīth is Gharīb as a narration of Jābir, we do not know of it except as a narration of ‘Abdullāh bin Maimūn, and ‘Abdullāh bin Maimūn is Munkar in Hadīth.[1]

Commentary
Whatever is befalling or has befallen a man, he could not have avoided it. Similarly, whatever is passing him by could not have befallen him. This is a patent truth. If one of us does not believe in this, he only puts a seal on his lack of knowledge and understanding and makes himself an impotent and helpless creature.
