عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما: أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَمْرِ، فَقَالَ: مَا شَاءَ اللهُ وَشِئْتَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَجَعَلْتَنِي لِلَّهِ عَدْلًا؟ قُلْ: مَا شَاءَ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ».
“Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: A man came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and talked to him about some matter and then said: It is as Allah wills and you will. Thereupon, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you make me an equal to Allah? Say: 'It is as Allah alone wills.'"”
