Question:
Is the story of Mary (peace be upon her) cited as evidence for the obligation of taking means and as a refutation of the Qadariyyah?

Answer:
Without a doubt,
And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will dropوَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسَاقِطْ
[Maryam 19:25]
or it will fall,
upon you ripe, fresh dates.عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا
[Maryam 19:25]
, for if she had not shaken the palm tree, the dates would not have fallen. Allah commanded her to perform the cause, namely shaking the palm tree.
