Musnad AhmedIt was narrated that Ibn Ya’mar said:
I asked Ibn "Umar-or a man asked him: We travel in this land and we meet people who say, There is no qadar (divine decree), Ibn "Umar said: If you meet those people, tell them that ‘Abdullah bin "Umar has nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with him - he said it three times. Then he told us. Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a man came and said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), may I draw closer? He said: "Come closer." So he came a little closer, then he said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), may I come closer? He said: "Come closer.” So he came a little closer, then he said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), may I come closer? He said: "Come closer.” So he came a little closer until his knees were almost touching the knees of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Then he said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), what is faith? - and he mentioned a similar report.
