Has the phrase "We have made a cause for everything" been mentioned in a Hadith Qudsi or a noble Hadith, and what is its source, knowing that it is not from the Holy Quran?
The phrase mentioned was not found in the texts of revelation from the Qur'an or Sunnah. However, it was found in a fabricated hadith with the wording: "For everything there is a cause, and no one comprehends it. And indeed, for Abū Jād there is a wondrous tale. As for Abū Jād: Adam refused obedience (abā) and persisted (jadda) in eating from the tree. As for Hawwaz: He fell (hawā) from heaven to earth. As for Hutti: His sins were relieved (ḥuṭṭat) from him. As for Kaliman: He ate (akala) from the tree, and repentance was granted to him (munna ‘alayhi). As for Sa‘faṣ: Adam disobeyed (‘aṣā) his Lord, so he was expelled from bliss to misery. As for Qarashat: He acknowledged (aqarra) the sin and was saved (salima) from punishment." Al-Shawkānī described it as a lie that could only emanate from the most ignorant of the ignorant.
