Sunan Ibn Majah 87 (Book) #36989
Entering Islam and Believing in Divine Decrees

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised 'Adi bin Hatim to enter Islam and explained that it involves testifying to La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and believing in all of Allah's Decrees.

Sha'bi said: "When 'Adi bin Hatim came to Kufah, we came to him with a delegation of the Fuqaha of Kufah and said to him: 'Tell us of something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ'. He said: 'I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "O 'Adi bin Hatim, enter Islam and you will be safe". I said, "What is Islam?" He said: "To testify to La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and to believe in all the Divine Decrees, the good of them and the bad of them, the sweet of them and the bitter of them".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عِيسَى الْجَرَّارُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى بْنِ أَبِي الْمُسَاوِرِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْكُوفَةَ أَتَيْنَاهُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ فُقَهَاءِ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ حَدِّثْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ ﷺ ـ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَمَا الإِسْلاَمُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَتُؤْمِنُ بِالأَقْدَارِ كُلِّهَا خَيْرِهَا وَشَرِّهَا حُلْوِهَا وَمُرِّهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about entering into the religion of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was advising 'Adi bin Hatim on how he can become a Muslim. He told him that he must testify that there is no god but Allah and believe in all of His divine decrees - both good and bad, sweet and bitter. This means that we must accept whatever happens as being from God's will even if it may not seem pleasant or desirable at first glance. We should trust in God's wisdom even when we don't understand why something happened or why something didn't happen as we wanted it to happen. It also teaches us about patience - accepting what comes our way with patience knowing that everything happens for a reason according to God's will.
