Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Qatadah al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah Almighty created Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him), then took the creation (that is, mankind) from his back and said: 'These will go to Paradise, and I do not care; and these (others) will go to Hell, and I do not care.'" A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, then on what basis should we act?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Act) in accordance with the way the decree (of destiny) falls."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
