حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ الصَّادِق الْمَصْدُوقُ، قَالَ: إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللهُ مَلَكًا فَيُؤْمَرُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ، ⦗٢٠٨⦘ وَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اكْتُبْ عَمَلَهُ وَرِزْقَهُ وَأَجَلَهُ وَشَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ الرُّوحُ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَاّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ كَتَابُهُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَيَعْمَلُ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّارِ إِلَاّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ.
Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ, the true and truly inspired said, “(The matter of the creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allâh sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature’s) deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him.So, a man amongst you may do (good) deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise and then what has been written for him decides his behaviour and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides his behaviour, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 430, Vol. 4)
حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ ﷿ وَكَّلَ بِالرَّحِمِ مَلَكًا، يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ نُطْفَةٌ يا رَبِّ عَلَقَةٌ يَا رَبِّ مُضْغَةٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ خَلْقَهُ، قَالَ: أَذَكَرٌ أَمْ أُنْثى شَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ فَمَا الرِّزْقُ وَالأَجَلُ فَيُكْتَبُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “At (every) womb Allâh عزوجل appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot, O Lord! A little lump of flesh.' Then if Allâh wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks: '(O Lord) Will it be a male or a female, a wretched [1] or a blessed [2] and how much will his provision be? And what will his age be? So all that is written while the child is still in the mother's womb." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 315, Vol. 1 )
[1] Wretched (in the Hereafter) i.e. he will choose the way which will lead him to the Hell-fire.[2] Blessed (in the Hereafter) i.e. he will choose the way which will lead him to the Paradise.
حديث عَلِيٍّ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: كُنَّا فِي جَنَازَةٍ، فِي بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَأَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَعَدَ وَقَعَدْنَا حَوْلَهُ، وَمَعَهُ مِخْصَرَةٌ، فَنَكَّسَ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِمِخْصَرَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ، مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ إِلَاّ كُتِبَ مَكَانُهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، وَإِلَاّ قَدْ كُتِبَ شَقِيَّةً أَوْ سَعِيدَةً فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلا نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا، وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنَّا مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنَّا مَنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَهْلُ السَّعَادَةِ فَيُيَسِّرُونَ لَعَمَلِ السَّعَادَةِ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَبُيَسِّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ ⦗٢١٠⦘ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ (فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى) الآية.
We were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqî'al-Gharqad. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came to us and sat and we sat around him. He had a small stick in his hand then he bent his head and started scraping the ground with it. He then said, "There is none among you, nor any person created, but has a place assigned for him in Paradise or in Hell and it is also determined for him whether he will be among the blessed or wretched."A man said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Should we not depend on what has been written for us and leave the deeds, as whoever amongst us is blessed will do the deeds of a blessed person and whoever amongst us is wretched, will do the deeds of a wretched person?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The good deeds are made easy for the blessed, and bad deeds are made easy for the wretched."Then he recited the Verses: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allâh and fears Him. And believes in Al-Husna [(the best) i.e. either Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) or a reward from Allâh i.e. Allâh will compensate him for what he will spend in Allâh's way or bless him with Paradise]. We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness)." (V.92:5-7)( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 444, Vol. 2)
حديث عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُعْرَفُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَلِمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ قَالَ: كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ، أَوْ لِمَا يُسِّرَ لَهُ.
A man said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated) from the people of the Fire?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "Yes." The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which he has been created to do, or he will do those deeds which will be made easy for him to do" (i.e. everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 595, Vol. 8)
حديث سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ 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.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A man may seem to the people as if he were practising the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he is from the people of the (Hell) Fire, another may seem to the people as if he were practising the deeds of the people of (Hell) Fire, while in fact he is from the people of Paradise." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 147, Vol. 4)
46/2. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: احْتَجَّ آدَمُ وَمُوسى فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسى: يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا، خَيَّبْتَنَا، وَأَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ: يَا مُوسى اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ بِكَلَامِهِ، وَخَطَّ لَكَ بِيَدِهِ، أَتَلُومُنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدَّرَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي بِأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسى ثَلَاثًا.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Adam and Mûsa (Moses) argued with each other. Mûsa said to Adam: "O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise." Then Adam said to him, "O Mûsa! Allâh favoured you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He Wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allâh had preordained for me forty years before my creation?" So Adam confuted Mûsa." The Prophet repeated the statement three times. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 611, Vol. 8)
46/5. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَا أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ، لَا مَحَالَةَ فَزِنَا الْعَيْنِ النَّظَرُ، وَزِنَا اللِّسَانِ الْمَنْطِقُ وَالنَّفْسُ تَمَنَّى وَتَشْتَهِي وَالْفَرْجُ يُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ.
I have not seen a thing resembling Lamam (minor sins) than what Abû Huraira رضي الله عنه narrated from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who said, "Allâh has written for Adam's son his share of adultery which he commits inevitably. The adultery of the eyes is the sight (to gaze at a forbidden thing), the adultery of the tongue is the talk, and the innerself wishes and desires and the private parts testify all this or deny it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 260, Vol. 8) worship none but Allâh Alone), and what is the decision about the (fate of) dead children of disbelievers and of Muslims.
46/6. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ إِلَاّ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ كَمَا تنْتَجُ الْبَهِيمَةُ بَهِيمَةً جَمْعَاءَ ⦗٢١٣⦘ هَلْ تُحِسُّونَ فِيهَا مِنْ جَدْعَاءَثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيرَةَ رضي الله عنها: (فِطْرَةَ اللهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللهِ، ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ).
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Every child is born on Fitrah [true faith of Islâmic Monotheism (i.e. to worship none but Allâh Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magianism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?"Then Abû Huraira رضى الله عنه recited the Verses: Allâh's Fitrah (i.e. Allâh's Islâmic Monotheism) with which He has created mankind. No change let there be in the Khalq-illâh (i.e. the Religion of Allâh — Islâmic Monotheism). That is the Straight Religion." (V.30:30)( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 441, Vol. 2)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَرَارِيِّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was asked about the offspring of Al-Mushrikûn ; so he said, "Allâh knows what sort of deeds they would have done." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 466, Vol. 2)
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَوْلَادِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ: اللهُ، إِذْ خَلَقَهُمْ، أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was asked about the children of Al-Mushrikûn [1]. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "Since Allâh created them, He knows what sort of deeds they would have done." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 465, Vol. 2)
[1] & Al-Mushrikûn : polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم .
