Question
Is this a Hadith Qudsy?
It is quite famous.
“O my slave, there is your intention, and there is my intention , if you sacrifice your intentions over mine, then I will help in your intentions, and only that what is my intention will happen. And if you do not sacrifice your intentions over mine, then I will tire you in pursuit of what you intend… and only that will happen what I like.”
Answer
This is quoted as a Historical (Israely) narration by Hakim Tirmidhi, Imam Ghazali (rahimahumallah) and others.
(Nawadirul Usul, hadith: 737 & 1575, Sharhul Ihya, vol.9 pg.653)
It may be quoted as such, and not as a Hadith Qudsy.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
