Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (Shu'ayb, may Allah have mercy on him), and he from his grandfather, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was narrating hadith to us at the door of the private chambers when, meanwhile, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) arrived. With them was a large group of people who were arguing back and forth among themselves and rebutting one another's words. When they saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they fell silent. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'What was this talk I was just hearing, in which you were answering one another and rebutting one another's words?' A man said: O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) holds that good deeds are from Allah and evil deeds are from the servants, while Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) holds that evil deeds and good deeds are all from Allah. So one group followed this one and another followed that one, and they were answering one another and rebutting one another's words. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: 'What did you say?' He stated his first view. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he too repeated the same first view of his. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'By the One in whose Hand is my soul! I will judge between you with the same judgement that Israfil (peace be upon him) made between Jibril and Mika'il (peace be upon them both).' This weighed heavily on the people's hearts, and they said: O Messenger of Allah! Did Jibril (peace be upon him) also speak about this matter? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes, by the One in whose Hand is my soul! They were the first of Allah's creation to speak about this matter. Mika'il (peace be upon him) said the same as Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, and Jibril (peace be upon him) said the same as Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said. Then Jibril (peace be upon him) said to Mika'il (peace be upon him): If we, the people of the heaven, differ, then the people of the earth will differ too; so let us take the matter to Israfil (peace be upon him) for judgement. So they took the matter to him, and he gave them this judgement on the reality of predestination: that good and evil, sweet and bitter, all of it is from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. And I too am going to give this same judgement between you.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: 'O Abu Bakr! If Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, had willed that He not be disobeyed, He would not have created Iblis at all.' Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Muqatil except Umar, and Muhammad bin Ya'la is alone in narrating it."
