What is the reconciliation between the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on conditioning supplication with the will of Allah and his saying to the sick person, “(Purification, if Allah wills)”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Here is a question: regarding the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on conditioning supplication with the will of Allah, how do we reconcile this with his saying:
an expiation for your sins طهور إن شاء الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 5662
to the sick person?

The Shaykh : This falls under the category of seeking blessing, just as he said in the hadith of greeting the deceased:
As-salamu ‘alaykum ahlad-diyar minal-mu’minina wal- muslimin, wa inna insha’ Allah bikum lahiqun السلام عليكم أهل الديار من المؤمنين والمسلمين، وإنا إن شاء الله بكم لاحقون
Sunan Ibn Majah 1547Sahih (Darussalam)
This is from the category of seeking blessing, not from the category of attributing the will to Allah, because the matter has already been willed by Him, and the matter ended with His saying, the Exalted:
Everyone upon the earth will perish, كل من عليها فان
[Ar-Rahman 55:26]
