عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي يَدِهِ كِتَابَانِ فَقَالَ: ((أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَانِ الْكِتَابَانِ؟)) قَالَ: قُلْنَا: لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُخْبِرَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! قَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى: ((هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِأَسْمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ، ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا)) ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي يَسَارِهِ: ((هَذَا كِتَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ بِأَسْمَاءِهِمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا)) فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ إِذَنْ نَعْمَلُ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((صَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا! فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْجَنَّةِ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ، وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ النَّارِ لَيُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ)) ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَضَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((فَرَغَ رَبُّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ)) ثُمَّ قَالَ بِالْيُمْنَى فَنَبَذَهَا فَقَالَ: ((فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ)) وَنَبَذَ بِالْيُسْرَى فَقَالَ: ((فَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while he had two books in his blessed hands. He (peace be upon him) said: "Do you know what these two books are?" We said: "No, O Messenger of Allah! Except that you inform us." He (peace be upon him) said about the book in his right hand: "This is a book from the Lord of the worlds. In it are the names of the people of Paradise, their fathers, and their tribes, and at the end their total is added up. There can be no increase or decrease in them." Then he (peace be upon him) said about the book in his left hand: "This is the book of the people of Hell. In it are their names, their fathers, and their tribes, and at the end their total is added up. There can be no increase or decrease in it." The Companions said: "If the matter has been decided to this extent, then for what should we act?" The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Keep following the right path and adopt moderation. Surely, the end of a person of Paradise will be with the deeds of the people of Paradise, even if he does whatever he wishes, and the end of a person of Hell will be with the deeds of the people of Hell, even if he does whatever he wishes." Then he (peace be upon him) closed his hand and said: "Your Lord has finished with His servants." Then he (peace be upon him) threw the book from his right hand and said: "A group will go to Paradise." Then he threw the book from his left hand and said: "A group will go to Hell."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … These were two real books, and Allah is Powerful over all things. After stating the intended purpose and objective, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam cast these books towards the Knower of the unseen. This casting was not done as an act of disrespect. Imam Ghazali, in "Kimya-e-Sa'adat," has said: In two matters, the elect (khawas) are distinguished from the common people (awam): (1) The matters which the common people acquire through teaching and learning, the elect receive them directly from Allah Ta'ala as divinely bestowed knowledge (ilm ladunni) without any effort. (2) The things that ordinary people see in dreams, the elect see them while awake. In this regard, there are many stories and examples from the elders (mashaikh). When this rank is attained by the special servants of Allah Ta'ala, then what can be said about that personality who is the leader of the messengers, higher in rank than them, deeper in knowledge than them, and the most vast in knowledge of all.
