Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A servant cannot reach the reality of faith until he knows that whatever is to reach him will not fail to reach him, and whatever is not to reach him will never reach him."
Al-Bazzar recorded it and said: Its chain is hasan (good).
