Mukhtasar Muslim (Abridged) 1841 — Destiny is written before birth

`Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says that` I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah Almighty wrote the destinies of the creatures fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, and at that time His Throne was upon the water.
