Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a hadith was mentioned, I do not know if it is authentic, which says:Sunan Ibn Majah 4022Da’if (Darussalam) If Allah the Mighty and Majestic has decreed an illness for you, and you take recourse to supplication and begin to supplicate a lot, will this illness be averted from you?
Answer:
Yes, indeed, supplication is also part of the divine decree, so one decree is averted by another decree, just as 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We move from the decree of Allah to the decree of Allah." So one decree is averted by another decree. Yes.
