Caution does not avail against destiny
And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allah at all except [it was] a need within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.
[Qur'aan 12:68]
ذَلِكَ الدُّخُولُ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَيْ مِنْ جِهَتِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ مِمَّا قَدَّرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِأَنَّ الْحَذَرَ لَا يَدْفَعُ الْقَدَرَ
Entering from different doors did not benefit them against any of the things which Allaah had decreed for them because caution does not repel destiny. [1]
