Hadith 2643
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، وَوَكِيعٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، وَوَكِيعٌ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ : " إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ يُرْسَلُ الْمَلَكُ فَيَنْفُخُ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ وَيُؤْمَرُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ بِكَتْبِ رِزْقِهِ ، وَأَجَلِهِ ، وَعَمَلِهِ ، وَشَقِيٌّ ، أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ، فَوَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلَّا ذِرَاعٌ ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلُهَا ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إِلَّا ذِرَاعٌ ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَدْخُلُهَا " .
'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who is the most truthful (of the human beings) and his being truthful (is a fact) said: Verily your creation is on this wise. The constituents of one of you are collected for forty days in his mother's womb in the form of blood, after which it becomes a clot of blood in another period of forty days. Then it becomes a lump of flesh and forty days later Allah sends His angel to it with instructions concerning four things, so the angel writes down his livelihood, his death, his deeds, his fortune and misfortune. By Him, besides Whom there is no god, that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit, when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell and thus enters Hell, and another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell, until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him and then he begins to act like the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.
Hadith 2643
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كِلَاهُمَا ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَاه عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ كُلُّهُمْ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ : إِنَّ خَلْقَ أَحَدِكُمْ يُجْمَعُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ، وقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ مُعَاذٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ : أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ، وَأَمَّا فِي حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ ، وَعِيسَى : أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا .
This hadith has been reported on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Waki' (the words are): "The creation of any one of you is like this that (semen) is collected in the womb of the mother for forty nights," and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Shu'bah (the words are): "Forty nights and forty days." And in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Jarir and 'Isa (the words are): "Forty days."
Hadith 2644
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " يَدْخُلُ الْمَلَكُ عَلَى النُّطْفَةِ بَعْدَ مَا تَسْتَقِرُّ فِي الرَّحِمِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ ، أَوْ خَمْسَةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ، فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ : أَشَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَيُكْتَبَانِ ، فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ : أَذَكَرٌ ، أَوْ أُنْثَى ؟ فَيُكْتَبَانِ ، وَيُكْتَبُ عَمَلُهُ ، وَأَثَرُهُ ، وَأَجَلُهُ وَرِزْقُهُ ، ثُمَّ تُطْوَى الصُّحُفُ ، فَلَا يُزَادُ فِيهَا وَلَا يُنْقَصُ " .
Hudhaifa bin Usaid reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he said: When the drop of (semen) remains in the womb for forty or fifty (days) or forty nights, the angel comes and says: My Lord, will he be good or evil? And both these things would be written. Then the angel says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And both these things are written. And his deeds and actions, his death, his livelihood; these are also recorded. Then his document of destiny is rolled and there is no addition to it nor subtraction from it.
Hadith 2645
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ ، أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ وَاثِلَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ الشَّقِيُّ مَنْ شَقِيَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ ، وَالسَّعِيدُ مَنْ وُعِظَ بِغَيْرِهِ ، فَأَتَى رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ ، فَحَدَّثَهُ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَ : وَكَيْفَ يَشْقَى رَجُلٌ بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ : أَتَعْجَبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا مَرَّ بِالنُّطْفَةِ ثِنْتَانِ ، وَأَرْبَعُونَ لَيْلَةً ، بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهَا مَلَكًا ، فَصَوَّرَهَا ، وَخَلَقَ سَمْعَهَا ، وَبَصَرَهَا ، وَجِلْدَهَا ، وَلَحْمَهَا ، وَعِظَامَهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثَى ؟ فَيَقْضِي رَبُّكَ مَا شَاءَ وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ أَجَلُهُ ؟ فَيَقُولُ رَبُّكَ مَا شَاءَ ، وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ رِزْقُهُ ؟ فَيَقْضِي رَبُّكَ مَا شَاءَ ، وَيَكْتُبُ الْمَلَكُ ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ الْمَلَكُ بِالصَّحِيفَةِ فِي يَدِهِ ، فَلَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى مَا أُمِرَ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ " .
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported: Evil one is he who is evil in the womb of his mother and the good one is he who takes lesson from the (fate of) others. The narrator came to a person from amongst the Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was called Hudhaifa bin Usaid Ghifari and said: How can a person be an evil one without (committing an evil) deed? Thereupon the person said to him: You are surprised at this, whereas I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saving: When forty nights pass after the semen gets into the womb, Allah sends the angel and gives him the shape. Then he creates his sense of hearing, sense of sight, his skin, his flesh, his bones, and then says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And your Lord decides as He desires and the angel then puts down that also and then says: My Lord, what about his age? And your Lord decides as He likes it and the angel puts it down. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood? And then the Lord decides as He likes and the angel writes it down, and then the angel gets out with his scroll of destiny in his hand and nothing is added to it and nothing is subtracted from it.
Hadith 2645
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud through another chain of transmitters.
Hadith 2645
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، أَنَّ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُذُنَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ تَقَعُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ، ثُمَّ يَتَصَوَّرُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَلَكُ ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ : حَسِبْتُهُ ، قَالَ : الَّذِي يَخْلُقُهَا ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ أَذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى ؟ فَيَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ ذَكَرًا أَوْ أُنْثَى ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ أَسَوِيٌّ ، أَوْ غَيْرُ سَوِيٍّ ؟ فَيَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ سَوِيًّا ، أَوْ غَيْرَ سَوِيٍّ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ ، مَا رِزْقُهُ ، مَا أَجَلُهُ ، مَا خُلُقُهُ ؟ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ شَقِيًّا أَوْ سَعِيدًا " .
Abu Tufail reported: I visited Abu Sariha Hudhaifa bin Usaid al-Ghifari who said: I listened with these two ears of mine Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The semen stays in the womb for forty nights, then the angel, gives it a shape. Zubair said: I think that he said: One who fashions that and decides whether he would be male or female. Then he (the angel) says: Would his limbs be full or imperfect? And then the Lord makes them full and perfect or otherwise as He desires. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood, and his death and what about his disposition? And then the Lord decides about his misfortune and fortune.
Hadith 2645
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ كُلْثُومٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي كُلْثُومٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَّ مَلَكًا مُوَكَّلًا بِالرَّحِمِ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ شَيْئًا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ لِبِضْعٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِهِمْ .
Hadhaifa bin Usaid Ghifari, a Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , reported it directly from Allah's Messenger (may peace upon him) as he said: There is an angel who looks after the womb when Allah decides to create anything after more than forty nights are over; the rest of the hadith is the same.
Hadith 2646
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، وَرَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا ، فَيَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ ؟ أَيْ رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ ؟ أَيْ رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ ؟ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقًا ، قَالَ : قَالَ الْمَلَكُ : أَيْ رَبِّ ذَكَرٌ أَوْ أُنْثَى ؟ شَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ؟ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ ؟ فَمَا الْأَجَلُ ؟ فَيُكْتَبُ كَذَلِكَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has appointed an angel as the caretaker of the womb, and he would say: My Lord, it is now a drop of semen; my Lord, it is now a clot of blood; my Lord, it has now become a lump of flesh, and when Allah decides to give it a final shape, the angel says: My Lord, would it be male or female or would he be an evil or a good person? What about his livelihood and his age? And it is all written as he is in the womb of his mother.
Hadith 2647
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا فِي جَنَازَةٍ فِي بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ ، فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَعَدَ وَقَعَدْنَا حَوْلَهُ وَمَعَهُ مِخْصَرَةٌ ، فَنَكَّسَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِمِخْصَرَتِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ مَكَانَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ ، وَإِلَّا وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ شَقِيَّةً أَوْ سَعِيدَةً " ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجَلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفَلَا نَمْكُثُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ ؟ فَقَالَ : مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا ، فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ أَمَّا أَهْلُ السَّعَادَةِ ، فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ : فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى { 5 } وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى { 6 } فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى { 7 } وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى { 8 } وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى { 9 } فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى { 10 } سورة الليل آية 5-10 .
All reported: We were in a funeral in the graveyard of Gharqad that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us and we sat around him. He had a stick with him. He lowered his head and began to scratch the earth with his stick, and then said: There is not one amongst you whom a spot in Paradise or Hell has not been allotted and about whom it has not been written down whether he would be an evil person or a blessed person. A person said: Allah's Messenger, should we not then depend upon our destiny and abandon our deeds? Thereupon he said: Acts of everyone will be facilitated in that which has been created for him so that whoever belongs to the company of the blessed will have good works made easier for him and whoever belongs to the unfortunate ones will have evil acts made easier for him. He then recited this verse (from the Qur'an): "Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end and who is miserly and considers himself above need, We shall make easy for him the difficult end". (XCii. 5-10).

'Ali reported that one day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting with a wood in his hand and he was scratching the ground. He raised his head and said: There is not one amongst you who has not been allotted his seat in Paradise or Hell. They said: Allah's Messenger. then, why should we perform good deeds, why not depend upon our destiny? Thereupon he said. No, do perform good deeds, for everyone is facilitated in that for which he has been created; then he recited this verse: "Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end..." (xcii. 5-10).

'Imran bin Husain repotted that it was said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : Has there been drawn a distinction between the people of Paradise and the denizens of hell? He said: Yes.

Hadith 2650
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَي بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَي بْنِ يَعْمَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ : " أَرَأَيْتَ مَا يَعْمَلُ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ وَيَكْدَحُونَ فِيهِ أَشَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَمَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ قَدَرِ مَا سَبَقَ ؟ أَوْ فِيمَا يُسْتَقْبَلُونَ بِهِ مِمَّا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ وَثَبَتَتِ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيْهِمْ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : بَلْ شَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : أَفَلَا يَكُونُ ظُلْمًا ؟ قَالَ : فَفَزِعْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَزَعًا شَدِيدًا ، وَقُلْتُ : كُلُّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقُ اللَّهِ وَمِلْكُ يَدِهِ فَلَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ ، فَقَالَ لِي : يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ، إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ بِمَا سَأَلْتُكَ إِلَّا لِأَحْزِرَ عَقْلَكَ ، إِنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَا يَعْمَلُ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ وَيَكْدَحُونَ فِيهِ أَشَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى فِيهِمْ مِنْ قَدَرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَ ؟ أَوْ فِيمَا يُسْتَقْبَلُونَ بِهِ مِمَّا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ وَثَبَتَتِ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيْهِمْ ؟ فَقَالَ : لَا ، بَلْ شَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى فِيهِمْ وَتَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا { 7 } فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا { 8 } سورة الشمس آية 7-8 " .
Abu al-Aswad reported that 'Imran b Husain asked him: What is your view, what the people do today in the world, and strive for, is it something decreed for them or preordained for them or will their fate in the Hereafter be determined by the fact that their Prophets brought them teaching which they did not act upon? I said: Of course, it is something which is predetermined for them and preordained for them. He (further) said: Then, would it not be an injustice (to punish them)? I felt greatly disturbed because of that, and said: Everything is created by Allah and lies in His Power. He would not be questioned as to what He does, but they would be questioned; thereupon he said to me: May Allah have mercy upon you, I did not mean to ask you but for testing your intelligence. Two men of the tribe of Muzaina came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion that the people do in the world and strive for, is something decreed for them; something preordained for them and will their fate in the Hereafter be determined by the fact that their Prophets brought them teachings which they did not act upon. And thus they became deserving of punishment? Thereupon, he said: Of course, it happens as it is decreed by Destiny and preordained for them, and this view is confirmed by this verse of the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious: "Consider the soul and Him Who made it perfect, then breathed into it its sin and its piety" (xci. 8).
Hadith 2651
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ الزَّمَنَ الطَّوِيلَ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، ثُمَّ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ عَمَلُهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ الزَّمَنَ الطَّوِيلَ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، ثُمَّ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ عَمَلُهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, a person performs deeds for a long time like the deeds of the people of Paradise. Then his deeds are terminated like the deeds of the people of Hell and, verily, a person performs deeds like the denizens of Fire for a long time, and then this deed of his is ultimately followed by the deeds of the people of Paradise.
Hadith 112
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ ، وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " .
Sahl bin Sa'd reported it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that a person performs deeds like the deeds of the people of Paradise apparently before people and he would be amongst the dwellers of Hell and a person acts apparently like the people of Hell, but (in fact) he would be among the dwellers of Paradise.
