Question
Is this a Hadith Qudsi?
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 (Israeli) narration by Hakim Tirmidhi, Imam Ghazali (rahimahumallah) and others.
(Nawadirul Usul, Hadith: 737 and 1575, Sharhul Ihya, vol. 9, pg. 653)
It may be quoted as such, and not as a Hadith Qudsi.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
