٢١٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ الْبَاهِلِيُّ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «قَدَّرَ اللهُ الْمَقَادِيرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِخَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary
Allāh had commanded the Pen to write what was going to happen. Thus, whatever has happened, or is happening, or will happen it is in accordance with what has been written, since Allāh's knowledge could not be contrary to the fact or to the actual happening. Denying the Divine Decree, thus, amounts to denying both, Allāh's all-pervading knowledge and His perfect dominion.
