Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1697 — The Book of Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainment)

'Alî Narrated from:

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)
