Narrated Mughith claimed that Ibn 'Umar once asked him about his mawla and
Mughith replied, "By Allah and so-and-so." Ibn 'Umar responded, "Do not

Abu 'Abdu'l-'Aziz said, "Abu Hurayra spent the night with us and
looked at a star before him. Then he said, 'By the One who holds Abu Hurayra
in his hand, some people wish that they would be appointed commanders in
the earth while their actions are as if they were handing from that star.
They are not appointed to those positions of command not to those positions.'
Then he turned to me and said, 'May the one who hates you not have good!
Is all of this allowed by the people of the east in the east?' 'Yes, by
Allah,' I replied. He said, 'May Allah make them ugly and drive them like
angry camels as if their faces were beaten shields until they give the
owner of a field his field and the owner of sheep his sheep!'"
Ibn 'Abbas said, "A man said, to the Prophet, 'Whatever Allah wills
and you will.' He said, 'You have put an equal with Allah. It is what Allah
alone wills.'"
Abu 'Izza Yassar ibn 'Abdullah al-Hudhali reported that the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When Allah wants a slave
to die in a particular country, he makes him have some reason for being
there."
