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.”

عَنْ أَبِي خُزَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رُقًى نَسْتَرْقِيهَا وَدَوَاءً نَتَدَاوَى بِهِ وَتُقَاةً نَتَّقِيهَا هَلْ تَرُدُّ مِنْ قَدَرِ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ هِيَ مِنْ قَدَرِ اللَّهِ
