Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #890
Consequences
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَلِيٍّ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَعَ أَبِي، فَنَاجَى أَبِي دُونِي، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي: مَا قَالَ لَكَ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَمْرًا فَعَلَيْكَ بِالتُّؤَدَةِ حَتَّى يُرِيَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ الْمَخْرَجَ، أَوْ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَخْرَجًا.
Az-Zuhri reported that a man from Bali said, "I came to visit the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with my father.
My father spoke to him while I was not there. I said to my father, 'What
did he say to you?' He replied, 'When you desire something, then you must
proceed slowly until Allah shows you a way out of it or until Allah makes
a way out for you.'"
