Ruling on the supplication: (O Allah, we do not ask You to avert the decree) and the response to it]
May Allah reward you: We often hear in supplication: (O Allah, we do not ask You to avert the decree, but we ask You for kindness in it) What is the authenticity of this?
This supplication that you heard: (O Allah, we do not ask You to avert the decree, but we ask You for kindness in it) This is a forbidden supplication that is not permissible; this is because supplication averts the decree, as stated in the hadith: (Nothing averts the decree except supplication) ,Also: It is as if this questioner is challenging Allah, saying: Decree what You will, but be kind, and a person should be decisive in his supplication and say: O Allah, I ask You to have mercy on me, O Allah, I seek refuge in You from Your punishment, and the like of that,As for saying: I do not ask You to avert the decree, so what is the benefit of supplication if you do not ask Him to avert the decree? Supplication averts the decree. Perhaps Allah decrees a decree and makes for it a cause that prevents it, and that is supplication.
The important point is that this supplication is not permissible, and it is obligatory for a person to avoid it, and to advise whoever hears it not to make this supplication.
