How do we reconcile the hadith “Say: What Allah willed, then Muhammad willed” with his saying “No, but what Allah willed alone”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) instruction to the man, “Say: What Allah willed, then Muhammad willed,” with his saying in the hadith
The other one is: “No, but what Allah willed alone.”الآخر بل ما شاء الله وحده.
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 18:1391


Answer:
This is more complete. “What Allah willed alone” is more complete. If he says “then he willed it,” that is permissible. The Messenger pointed to the better and more complete option. Yes.
