Silsilah as-Sahihah 73 — Predestination is true, but man has choice

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Qatadah Salmi رضي الله عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty created Adam عليه السلام, then brought forth his offspring from his back and said: These are for Paradise and I do not care, and these are for Hell and I do not care." Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! According to what should we act? He صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: "According to destiny."
