Taqrib al-Tadmuriyyah - Ibn al-'Uthaymin - (132)

—He will guide his heart, and Allah is Knowing of all things.” (al-Taghābun 11).

Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “He guides his heart to certainty so that he knows that what struck him could never have missed him, and what missed him could never have struck him.”

ʿAlqamah said about the verse: “It refers to a man upon whom a calamity falls; he realizes that it is from Allah, so he is content and submits.”

When a person observes both the command and the decree in the manner we have described—worshipping Allah, seeking His help, and relying on Him—he is among those upon whom Allah has bestowed His favour.
Allah has coupled these two foundations in many passages, such as His words: “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help” (al-Fātiḥah 5); His words: “So worship Him and rely upon Him” (Hūd 123); and His words: “My success is only through Allah; upon Him I rely, and to Him I turn” (Hūd 88).

يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ﴾ [التغابن: ١١] . قال ابن عباس ﵄: يهد قلبه لليقين فيعلم أن ما أصابه لم يكن ليخطئه، وما أخطأه لم يكن ليصيبه. وقال علقمة في الآية: هو الرجل تصيبه المصيبة فيعلم أنها من عند الله فيرضى ويسلم. * فإذا راعى الأمر والقدر على الوجه الذين ذكرنا عابداً لله تعالى مستعيناً به متوكلاً عليه من الذين أنعم الله عليهم. * وقد جمع الله بين هذين الأصلين في أكثر من موضع كقوله تعالى: ﴿إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ﴾ [الفاتحة: ٥] . وقوله: ﴿فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ﴾ [هود: ١٢٣] . وقوله: ﴿وَمَا تَوْفِيقِي إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ﴾ [هود: ٨٨] .
