In Surat al-Shura, it is stated in the words of Allah the Exalted: (And He is Able to gather them when He wills), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, in what he narrates from his Lord:

The questioner : Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says in His Noble Book, in Surat al-Shura: And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says in the last hadith in Sahih Muslim and in Sahih al-Jami', narrating from his Lord: And I think thatThe Shaykh : Is it not the case that it is not recommended to use the phrase "And Allah is Able to do what He wills"? Does that not contradict these evidences found in the Book and the Sunnah?

The Shaykh : There is no issue with the verse, of course. As for the hadith, we are holding back regarding the hadith only, and the reason goes back to two things. The first thing is that the many verses mentioned in the Qur'an, supported by many hadiths, state that Allah is Able to do everything, and not as it came in the narration in Muslim that you referred to, which is from the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "when He wills." There is no doubt that everything is by the will of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but this narration came in two wordings: one is on the main track, "And Allah is Able to do everything," and the other is the one I mentioned earlier. I have been asked more than once about this hadith, and I answered that the hadith, even though it is in Sahih Muslim, needs hadith study in terms of preferring one of the two narrations, and this is something we have not had the time for, as we always say in such an occasion. We do not direct ourselves, nor is it correct for us to direct ourselves to critique the hadiths of the two Sahihs, but we may sometimes do so for a specific occasion. If an occasion compels us to research and prefer one narration, we do so. And this narration, up to now, we have not been able to say that this narration is the stronger, or the one that came on the main track, which is the famous one in the Book and the Sunnah: . As for the permissibility of this usage, there is no doubt about it after the verse I mentioned earlier. We simply do not say that this wording in this hadith is established, even though it came in Sahih Muslim. Yes... If the consensus, please.
