Answer:
This is from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and was a young boy. He said, "O boy, I will teach you some words:
Ibn 'Abbas narrated: "I was behind the Prophet(s.a.w) one day when he said: 'O boy! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah's aid. Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are dried.'"
احفظ الله يحفظك احفظ الله تجده تجاهك اذا سالت فاسال الله واذا استعنت فاستعن بالله واعلم ان الخلق لو اجتمعوا على ان يضروك بشيءThey would not harm you except with something that Allah has already written for you. And if they were to gather together to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with something that Allah has already written for you. The pens have been lifted and the scrolls have been rolled up.
لم يضروك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك، ولو اجتمعوا على أن ينفعوك بشيء، لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله لك. رفعت الأقلام وطويت الصحفAs for Mu'adh, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "O Mu'adh." He was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a donkey, and he said, "O boy, I will teach you," and then he said to him (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Mu'adh"
Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah's aid.
