حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَب
ِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ الْإِيمَانِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَغَزْوَةٌ لَيْسَ فِيهَا غُلُولٌ وَحَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ

English Translation
Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than a weak believer, and in each there is good. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be helpless. If something befalls you, do not say: If only I had done such-and-such. Rather say: Allah has decreed, and whatever He wills, He does. For indeed, "if only" opens the door to the work of Shaytan.'
