موطأ مالك

1756
Malik Muwatta
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُقَالُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي الَّذِي لاَ يَعْجَلُ شَىْءٌ أَنَاهُ وَقَدَّرَهُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَكَفَى سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ دَعَا لَيْسَ وَرَاءَ اللَّهِ مَرْمَى ‏.‏
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that this was said "Praise be to Allah who created everything as is necessary, who does not hasten anything He defers and determines. Allah is enough for me and sufficient. Allah hears whoever makes dua to him. Allah does not have a goal."
