It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A servant is born a believer, lives as a believer and dies a believer; and a servant is born a disbeliever, lives as a disbeliever and dies a disbeliever. And a servant does deeds of goodness and felicity for a period of his life, then what has been written for him (his decree) overtakes him, and he dies in a state of disbelief. And a servant does deeds of wretchedness for a period of his life, then what has been written for him (his decree) overtakes him, and he dies as one of the fortunate."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Umar bin Ibrahim, and Shadh (bin al-Fayyad) is alone in narrating it."
