Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another questioner, Abdullah from al-Kharj, who asks: What is the ruling and what are the counsels contained in the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) advice to Ibn 'Abbas when he said to him, "O boy, I am teaching you some words"Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2516Hasan (Darussalam) Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2516Hasan (Darussalam).
Answer:
This is advice from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to Ibn 'Abbas, who was a young boy. Ibn 'Abbas was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a donkey, sitting behind the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "O boy, I am teaching you some words: Fear Allah and He will protect you. This is one" Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2516Hasan (Darussalam) . This means that the decrees have ended; the ones that Allah the Exalted has decreed, the pens of the decrees have been lifted and the pages on which the decrees are written have been dried. The decrees of creation, the Exalted is He, Glory and Exaltation be to Him, are far above what the wrongdoers say in great arrogance. Yes.

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-
احفظ الله يحفظك احفظ الله تجده تجاهك إذا سألت فاسأل الله وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله واعلم أن الأمة لو اجتمعت على أن ينفعوك بشيء لم ينفعوك إلا بشيءexcept 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.
قد كتبه الله لك، وإن اجتمعوا على أن يضروك بشيء لم يضروك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك، رفعت الأقلام وجفت الصحفAnswer:
