On the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of conditioning supplication with the will of Allah; how is this reconciled with his saying: “(It is) a purification, if Allah wills”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Here is a question: On the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of conditioning supplication with the will of Allah; how is this reconciled with his saying:
an expiation for your sins طهور إن شاء الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 5662
...?

The Shaykh : Yes, this falls under the category of seeking blessing, as mentioned in the hadith regarding greeting the deceased:
As-salamu ‘alaykum ahlad-diyar minal-mu’minina wal- muslimin, wa inna insha’ Allah bikum lahiqun السلام عليكم أهلَ الديار من المؤمنين والمسلمين ، وإنا إن شاء الله بكم لاحقون
Sunan Ibn Majah 1547Sahih (Darussalam)
. This is a matter of seeking blessing, not of attributing the will to Allah; because the matter has already been willed and the affair is concluded in His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
Everyone upon the earth will perish, كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ
[Ar-Rahman 55:26]
.
Yes.
