Supplication: O Allah, if You have written me as wretched, then erase me, and a good surprise is better than a thousand appointments

Question:
And he asked: Does one say this supplication: "O Allah, if You have written me among the prophets, then erase me, and make me among those who are called to"?

Answer:
No, I do not know; I do not know about this matter. However, one should supplicate to Allah to learn from the happy ones and to make him among the people of Paradise and the people of good. He says, "If You have written..." only if the hadith regarding it is authentic. I do not know. Yes. As for the supplication, "I do not ask You to reverse the decree, but I ask You for the point in it," this supplication is not authentic. It is not authentic, even though the scholars have claimed it more than once. It is not permissible to supplicate with something like this. "I ask You for gentleness in the decree," I ask? This is good, but "I do not ask You to reverse the decree," honestly. No, this is not permissible. There is nothing that is true. Except what is decreed and understood. But if his intention by "chance" is that he did not expect this and did not anticipate it, then it is a chance for him, and there is no harm. But if "chance" means that it was not decreed and did not precede in the knowledge of Allah, that is disbelief in the divine decree and destiny. But I do not think a believer intends that meaning; he intends the first meaning, that for him, he did not think or feel that he would meet this person or see this thing, so it is a chance for him. And also he says, "Or a good surprise is better than a thousand appointments," or it is of this type, meaning a surprise. A surprise may be better than the appointment that was coming for him before. Perhaps a good surprise is wisdom, perhaps a good surprise is better than an appointment. Yes.
