Majma al-Zawaid 11812 — The cause of guidance
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ فِي ظُلْمَةٍ ، ثُمَّ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ نُورِهِ ، فَمَنْ أَصَابَهُ مِنْ نُورِهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ اهْتَدَى ، وَمَنْ أَخْطَأَهُ ضَلَّ ، فَلِذَلِكَ أَقُولُ : جَفَّ الْقَلَمُ عَلَى عِلْمِ اللَّهِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty created His creation in darkness, then He cast His light upon them. Whoever received that light on that day was guided, and whoever did not receive that light went astray. That is why I say: The Pen has dried in accordance with the knowledge of Allah Almighty."
