Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah Almighty has finished with five things for every servant: the appointed time of his death, his provision, his life, the place of his death, and his being wretched or fortunate." In one narration the words are: "and his deeds."
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; the narrators of one of Ahmad's two chains are thiqat (trustworthy).
