Sunan Abi Dawud 4715 (Book 42, Hadith 120) #25006
The Last Part of Tradition

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the discussion between Malik and the people regarding a tradition that was being used by heretics to argue against them. Malik suggested to argue against them using the last part of the tradition which states that Allah knows best what he was going to do.

Abu Dawud said : Malik was asked : The heretics argue from this tradition against us. Malik said : Argue against them from its last part which goes. The people asked : What do you think about the one who died while he was young? He replied : Allah knows best what he was going to do.
قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، أَخْبَرَكَ يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الأَهْوَاءِ يَحْتَجُّونَ عَلَيْنَا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ احْتَجَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآخِرِهِ ‏.‏ قَالُوا أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a discussion between Malik and some people who were arguing with him using a tradition as evidence for their argument. Malik suggested that they should use the last part of this tradition, which states that Allah knows best what he was going to do, as an argument against them instead. This hadith teaches us that we should always trust in God's knowledge and wisdom when it comes to matters we don't understand or can't explain ourselves, as He knows better than anyone else what will happen in any given situation. It also teaches us not to be too quick in judging others or their actions without knowing all of the facts first, since only God has full knowledge of all things and can judge accordingly.
