In the Forty Hadiths of Nawawi, it is reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, “I was behind the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) one day when he said to me:
“O youth, I shall teach you some words. Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will be mindful of you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah. If you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Community were to gather to benefit you with anything, they would only benefit you with something Allah had written for you, and if they gather to harm you, they would only harm you with something Allah had already written for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.”
-- related by Tirmidhi, who said it is a good and rigorously authentic narration
