Question:
What is the ruling on a man who does not say "if Allah wills" in all his affairs, and gets angry when he hears someone say "if Allah wills"?

Answer:
This is considered as relying on himself and not relying on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
He must say "if Allah wills." Allah said to His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him):
(23) And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow," (24) Except [when adding], "If Allah wills."وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ
[Al-Kahf 18:23-24]
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded by Allah to say "if Allah wills," so what about others? Everything is by the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); nothing comes to pass in His dominion except what He wills and desires (Glorified and Exalted is He). So if you say "if Allah wills," this involves reliance upon Allah, reliance upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
