Jami at-Tirmidhi 1090 (Book 11, Hadith 11) #26657
Focusing on the Present

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) advised against predicting the future and instead encouraged people to focus on the present.

Ar-Rubai bint Muawwidh said: "The morning after the consummation of my marriage, the Prophet came and sat on my bed as far from me as you are sitting now, and our little girls started beating the Duff and reciting verses mourning my father who had been killed in the battle of Badr. One of them said: 'Among us is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow'. On that the Prophet said: 'Stop saying this, and keep on saying what you were saying before'."
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذٍ، قَالَتْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ غَدَاةَ بُنِيَ بِي فَجَلَسَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي كَمَجْلِسِكَ مِنِّي وَجُوَيْرِيَاتٌ لَنَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِدُفُوفِهِنَّ وَيَنْدُبْنَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مِنْ آبَائِي يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ وَفِينَا نَبِيٌّ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ اسْكُتِي عَنْ هَذِهِ وَقُولِي الَّذِي كُنْتِ تَقُولِينَ قَبْلَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a situation in which Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was visiting a newly married couple. The couple's daughters were playing music and singing songs, one of them mentioned that they have a prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow. In response, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised them not to say such things and instead focus on what they were doing before. This hadith teaches us that we should not try to predict or guess what will happen in the future as only Allah knows what will happen next. We should instead focus our energy on living in the present moment and making sure we are doing good deeds for ourselves and others around us. We should also take advice from those who are wise like Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as he always gave sound advice based on his knowledge of Islam.
