Combining the phrase "May Allah purify you, if He wills" with the hadith "Let none of you say, 'O Allah, forgive me if You will'"

Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. How do you reconcile the phrase "May Allah purify you, if He wills" with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ?

Answer:
This is like that: it gives Allah a choice, as if saying, "If You will, forgive me, or if You do not will, do not forgive me. I am not obligated upon You, and I am not imposing this upon You." This is not permissible. It is hesitant, and it describes Allah as doing something while He does not will it and does not desire it. This is not permissible. As for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) , this falls under the category of supplication for the sick, that Allah purifies him through this illness. Yes.
