Question : Shaykh, what did the one who says "if Allah wills" for the sake of seeking blessing derive from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that "actions are only by intentions"?
Answer : Yes, he derived it from the generality of his statement when he said "if Allah wills." Most people say this for the sake of seeking blessing, while believing that the entire matter is in the hand of Allah.
