How to reconcile the writing of the decrees with the hadith: “Whoever wants his lifespan to be extended and his provision to be expanded, let him maintain his family ties”?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “Whoever wants his lifespan to be extended and his provision to be expanded, let him maintain his family ties,” how do we reconcile this hadith with the fact that Allah has written the decrees, the decrees of every thing, in the Preserved Tablet? There are two answers from the scholars regarding this.

Answer:
The first answer is that the meaning of “his lifespan is extended” is that it is delayed for him and lengthened for him. Its meaning is that he is blessed in his lifespan; Allah makes his life blessed in obedience, so it is like a long life, even if it is short, due to righteous deeds.
The second opinion, which is the correct one, and Allah knows best, is that this extension is based on a cause. Allah decreed that this lifespan would be long based on a cause that this person performs. If the cause is found, the length of life is found; if the cause is not found, the length of life is not found. It is based on a cause; maintaining family ties was made a cause for a long life. So if it is found, the effect is found, which is that Allah continues his life and lengthens his lifespan. This is a decree based on a cause. This is the stronger opinion; the stronger of the two answers is this. Yes, because some of the decrees are decreed based on causes. If the causes are found, the effect is found; if they are not found, the effect is not found.
