Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Qatadah Salmi, may Allah be pleased with him, who was among the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Allah Almighty created Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him), then He brought forth his progeny from his back and said: These will be in Paradise and I do not care, and these will be in Hell and I do not care." A man asked: O Messenger of Allah! Then on what basis should we act? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: On the basis of the decree of destiny."
