Hadith on Tawhid: What Allah wills, then what Muhammad wills

Al-Tufayl reported: A man among the idolaters said to a man among the Muslims, “How excellent it would be of your people if you said: What Allah wills and Muhammad wills.” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, heard him and he said, “Do not say: What Allah wills and Muhammad wills. Rather, say: What Allah wills, and then what Muhammad wills.”

عَنْ الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ نِعْمَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْتُمْ لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَشَاءَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَسَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا تَقُولُوا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَشَاءَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ شَاءَ مُحَمَّدٌ
