Is it authentic that supplication can avert the divine decree?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this statement—that nothing averts the divine decree except supplication—correct?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. Supplication may cause Allah to avert the divine decree, because Allah has decreed a decree contingent upon a cause. If the cause is present, the decree occurs; if the cause is absent, the decree does not occur. Yes.
