Sahih al-Bukhari 2779 (Book 55, Hadith 42) #2658
Accepting God's Will

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the Banu An-Najjar to suggest a price for their garden, and they replied that they would only accept its price from Allah.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet said (at the time of building the Mosque), "O Ban, An-Najjar! Suggest to me a price for your garden". They replied, "We do not ask its price except from Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ يَا بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ثَامِنُونِي بِحَائِطِكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا لاَ نَطْلُبُ ثَمَنَهُ إِلاَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Trusting in God's plan; having faith in His decisions; accepting whatever comes our way as being ultimately from Him; understanding that He knows what is best for us even if we don't understand it at first.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about accepting God's will in all matters. In this hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked the Banu An-Najjar to suggest a price for their garden. However, instead of suggesting a price themselves they replied that they would only accept its price from Allah. This shows us that we should always be willing to accept whatever comes our way as it is ultimately from God and He knows what is best for us. We should not try to impose our own will on situations but rather trust in God's plan and have faith that He knows what is best for us even if we don't understand it at first.
