عن أبي العباس عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنه
قال كنت خلف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوماً فقال:

يا غلام ، إني أُعلمك كلمات :
احفظ الله يحفظك
احفظ الله تجده تجاهك ،
إذا سأَلت فاسأَل الله ،
وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله ،
واعلم أن الأُمة لو اجتمعت على أَن ينفعـوك بشيء ،
لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله لك ،
وإن اجتمعوا على أن يضروك بشيء ،
لم يضروك إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك،

رفعت الأقلام وجفت الصحف

رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن صحيح

Abu al-Abbas ibn Abdullah bin Abbas reported,

One day I was behind the Prophet (pbuh) and he said to me:

O young man, I shall teach you some words (of advice):
Be mindful of Allah and he will protect you
Be mindful of Allah and he will find Him in front of you
If you (have need to) ask, ask of Allah;
If you seek help, seek help of Allah.
Know that if all the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with something,
they would not benefit you with anything
except that which Allah has already recorded of you,
and if they gather together to harm you with something,
they would not be able to harm you with anything
except that which Allah has already recorded against you.
