Is it correct to say "What Allah willed alone" and also "What Allah willed, then I willed"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the reason for the prohibition by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of the man who said, "What Allah willed and what you willed"? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Rather, say, 'What Allah willed alone.'" Why did he (peace and blessings be upon him) not teach him to say, "What Allah willed, then Muhammad willed"?

Answer:
Yes, they are two phrases, both of which are correct. If one says, "What Allah willed alone," there is no doubt that this is the most cautious and complete. But if one uses the second phrase that came in the hadith
and then what you willأيضا ما شاء الله ثم شئت
Sunan Ibn Majah 2117Hasan (Darussalam)
, that is also permissible and good. Both phrases are correct. Yes.
