حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى فَاطِمَةَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَأَيْقَظَنَا لِلصَّلاةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَصَلَّى هَوِيًّا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَنَا حِسًّا، قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْنَا، فَأَيْقَظَنَا وَقَالَ: " قُومَا فَصَلِّيَا " قَالَ: فَجَلَسْتُ وَأَنَا أَعْرُكُ عَيْنِي وَأَقُولُ: إِنَّا وَاللهِ مَا نُصَلِّي إِلا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا، إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا. قَالَ: فَوَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ، وَيَضْرِبُ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ: " مَا نُصَلِّي إِلا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا، مَا نُصَلِّي إِلا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا " {وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا} (١)، •

Translation

English translation

It was narrated from `Ali bin Husain, from his father, that His grandfather `Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon me and Fatimah (رضي الله عنها) one night and woke us up for prayer, then he went back to his house and prayed for a while at night. He did not hear any sound from us, so he came back to us and woke us up, saying: `Get up and pray,` I sat up, rubbing my eyes, and said: By Allah, we will not offer any prayers but what is decreed for us. Our souls are in the hand of Allah: If He wills, He will wake us up, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned away saying, as he struck his hand against his thigh, “We will not offer any prayers but what is decreed for us, we will not offer any prayers but what is decreed for us. `But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything` [Al-Kahf 18:54].”
