Hadith on Providence: The worldly causes which benefit are from Allah’s divine decree

Abu Khizamah reported: His father asked, “O Messenger of Allah, the incantations we use, the medicines which heal us, and our fortifications against the enemy; do they repel anything from the providence of Allah?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “They are part of the providence of Allah.”

Ibn Kathir on Ayyub: The story of the Prophet Ayyub’s vow to strike his wife

Ibn Kathir said: Allah said, “Take in your hand a bundle of grass and strike with it and do not break your oath.” (38:44) The Prophet Job, upon him be peace, was angry with his wife and upset about something she had done, so he swore an oath that if Allah healed him, he would strike her with one hundred blows. When Allah healed him, how could her service of mercy, compassion, and kindness be rewarded with a beating? So Allah showed him a way out, which was to take a bundle of thin grass with one hundred stems and strike her with it once. Thus he fulfilled his oath and avoided breaking his vow. This was the solution and way out for one who had fear of Allah and who turned to Him in repentance.

قال ابن كثير وَقَوْلُهُ وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَاضْرِبْ بِهِ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَانَ قَدْ غَضِبَ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ وَوَجَدَ عَلَيْهَا فِي أَمْرٍ فَعَلَتْهُ قِيلَ إِنَّهَا بَاعَتْ ضَفِيرَتَهَا بِخُبْزٍ فَأَطْعَمَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ فَلَامَهَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَحَلِفَ إِنْ شَفَاهُ اللَّهُ لَيَضْرِبَنَّهَا مِائَةَ جِلْدَةٍ وَقِيلَ لِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْأَسْبَابِ فَلَمَّا شَفَاهُ اللَّهُ وَعَافَاهُ مَا كَانَ جَزَاؤُهَا مَعَ هَذِهِ الْخِدْمَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ وَالشَّفَقَةِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ أَنْ تُقَابَلَ بِالضَّرْبِ فَأَفْتَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ ضِغْثًا وَهُوَ الشِّمْرَاخُ فِيهِ مِائَةُ قَضِيبٍ فَيَضْرِبُهَا بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً وَقَدْ بَرَّتْ يَمِينُهُ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ حِنْثِهِ وَوَفَى بِنَذْرِهِ وَهَذَا مِنَ الْفَرَجِ وَالْمَخْرَجِ لِمَنِ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ وَأَنَابَ إِلَيْهِ
