Tāwūs reported: I found some of the Prophet's Companions say: "Everything is decreed." I heard ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar say: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Everything is decreed, even incapacity and capacity, or capacity and incapacity."
Reported by Muslim (No. 2656), Malik (No. 1629) and Ahmad (No. 5627).
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that everything is decreed, even incapacity, which is failure to do what should be done - in matters of this world and the Hereafter - and procrastinating and delaying it beyond its due time; and even capacity, which is vigor and proficiency in matters of worldly life and the Hereafter; and that Allah Almighty had predestined capacity and incapacity, and everything that happens in the universe had already been known and willed by Allah.
Lessons
The Hadīth demonstrates the Companions' belief in predestination.
Everything happens by Allah's predestination, even people's incapacity and vigor.
The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were cautious and meticulous in conveying the Prophet's Hadīths.
We should believe in all predestination, including its pleasant and unpleasant aspects.
Explanation in Arabic
بيَّن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن كل شيء بقدر؛
حتى العجز وهو: ترك ما يجب فعله والتسويف به وتأخيره عن وقته، بأمور الدنيا والآخرة.
وحتى الْكَيْسُ وهو: النشاط والحِذْق بأمور الدنيا والآخرة.
وإن الله عز وجل قد قدَّر العجز والكيس وكل شيء، لا يقع في الوجود إلا وقد سبق به علم الله ومشيئته.
بيان اعتقاد الصحابة رضوان الله عليهم في القدر.
كل شيء يحصل بقدر الله حتى العجز والنشاط.
تثبت وحذر الصحابة رضوان الله عليهم في نقل حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم.
الإيمان بالقدر كله خيره وشره.
