2151. Sa'd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "From (the signs of) the son of Ādam's prosperity, is his satisfaction with what Allāh decreed for him, and from the son of Ādam's misery is his avoiding to request guidance from Allāh, and from the son of Ādam's misery is his anger with what Allāh decreed for him." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Muḥammad bin Abī Humaid, and he is Abū Ibrāhīm Al-Madānī, and he is not strong (as a narrator) according to the people of Hadīth.

٢١٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌سَعْدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مِنْ سَعَادَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ» رِضَاهُ بِمَا قَضَى اللهُ لَهُ، وَمِنْ شَقَاوَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ تَرْكُهُ اسْتِخَارَةَ اللهِ، وَمِنْ شَقَاوَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ سَخَطُهُ بِمَا قَضَى اللهُ لَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، وَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَيْضًا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، وَهُوَ أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَدِينِيُّ، وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ.

Commentary

Whatever is happening in the world, be it good or bad, pain or pleasure, it is happening by Allāh's will and pleasure. We must, therefore, continue to pray to Him for good and protection from evil. We should, moreover, accept with an open heart whatever He has decided or decreed for us.
