Ali said: We attended a funeral at Baql’ al-Gharqad which was also attended by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came and sat down. He had a stick (in his hand) by which he began to scratch up the ground. He then raised his head and said: The place which every one of you and every soul of you will occupy in Hell or in Paradise has been recorded, and destined wicked or blesses. A man from among the people asked: Prophet of Allah! Should we not then trust simply in what has been recorded for us and abandon (doing good) deeds? Those who are among the number of the blessed will be inclined to blessing, and those of us who are among the number of the wicked will be inclined to wickedness. He replied: Go on doing good actions, for everyone is helped to do that for which he was created. Those who are among the number of wicked will be helped to do wicked deeds. The Prophet of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then recited: “So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), and in all sincerity testifies to the best, we will indeed make smooth for him the path to bliss. But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, and gives the lie to the best, We will indeed make smooth for him the path of misery. ”

علی رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ   ہم مدینہ کے قبرستان بقیع غرقد میں ایک جنازے میں شریک تھے، جس میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم بھی تھے، آپ آئے اور بیٹھ گئے، آپ کے پاس ایک چھڑی تھی، چھڑی سے زمین کریدنے لگے، پھر اپنا سر اٹھایا اور فرمایا: اللہ تعالیٰ نے تم میں سے ہر ایک متنفس کا ٹھکانہ جنت یا دوزخ میں لکھ دیا ہے، اور یہ بھی کہ وہ نیک بخت ہو گا یا بدبخت لوگوں میں سے ایک شخص نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے نبی! پھر ہم کیوں نہ اپنے لکھے پر اعتماد کر کے بیٹھ رہیں اور عمل ترک کر دیں کیونکہ جو نیک بختوں میں سے ہو گا وہ لازماً نیک بختی کی طرف جائے گا اور جو بدبختوں میں سے ہو گا وہ ضرور بدبختی کی طرف جائے گا؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: عمل کرو، ہر ایک کے لیے اس کا عمل آسان ہے، اہل سعادت کے لیے سعادت کی راہیں آسان کر دی جاتی ہیں اور بدبختوں کے لیے بدبختی کی راہیں آسان کر دی جاتی ہیں پھر نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اللہ تعالیٰ کا یہ فرمان سنایا: جو شخص اللہ کے راستے میں خرچ کرے، اللہ سے ڈرے، اور کلمہ توحید کی تصدیق کرے تو ہم اس کے لیے آسانی اور خوشی کی راہ آسان کر دیں گے، اور جو شخص بخل کرے، دنیوی شہوات میں پڑ کر جنت کی نعمتوں سے بے پروائی برتے اور کلمہ توحید کو جھٹلائے تو ہم اس کے لیے سختی اور بدبختی کی راہ آسان کر دیں گے ۱؎۔

sunan-abu-dawud-4695

Yahya bin Yamur said: The first to speak on Divine decree in al-Basrah was MAbad al Juhani. I and Humaid bin Abdur-Rahman al-Himyari proceeded to perform HAJJ or UmrAH. We said: would that we meet any of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم so that we could ask him about what they say with regard to divine decree. So Allah helped us to meet Abdullah bin Umar who was entering the mosque. So I and my companion surrounded him, and I thought that my companion would entrust me the task of speaking to him. Then I said: Abu Abdur-Rahman, there appeared on our side some people who recite the Quran and are engaged in the hair-splitting of knowledge. They conceive that there is no Divine decree and everything happens freely without predestination. He said: When you meet those people, tell them that I am free from them, and they are free from me. By Him by Whom swears Abdullah bin Umar, if one of them has gold equivalent to Uhud and he spends it, Allah will not accept it from him until he believes in Divine decree. He then said: Umar bin Khattab transmitted to me a tradition, saying: One day when we were with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم a man with very white clothing and very black hair came up to us. No mark of travel was visible on him, and we did not recognize him. Sitting down beside the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, leaning his knees against his and placing his hands on his thighs, he said: tell me, Muhammad, about Islam. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Islam means that you should testify that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger, that you should observe prayer, pay ZAKAT, fast during RAMADAN, and perform Hajj to the house (i. e., KABAH), If you have the meant to go. He said: You have spoken the truth. We were surprised at his questioning him and then declaring that he spoke the truth. He said: now tell me about faith. He replied: It means that you should believe in Allah, his angels, his Books, his Messengers and the last day, and that you should believe in the decreeing both of good and evil. He said: you have spoken the truth. He said: now tell me about doing good (ihsan). He replied: it means that you should worship Allah as though you are seeing him; if you are not seeing him, he is seeing you. He said: Now tell me about the hour. He replied: The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the one who is asking. He said: Then tell me about its signs. He replied: That a maidservant should beget her mistress, and that you should see barefooted, naked, poor men and shepherds exalting themselves in buildings. Umar said: He then went away, and I waited for three days, then he said: Do you know who the questioner was, Umar? I replied: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said: He was Gabriel who came to you to teach you your religion.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Yahya bin Yamur and Humaid bin Abdur-Rahman through a different chain of narrators. This version has: we met Abdullah bin Umar. We told him about divine decree and what they said about it. He then mentioned something similar to it. He added: A man of Muzainah or juhainah asked: What is the good in doing anything, Messenger of Allah ? should we think that a thing has passed and gone or a thing that has happened now (without predestination)? He replied: About a thing that has passed and gone (i. e. predestined). A man or some people asked: Then, why action? He replied: Those who are among the number of those who go to Paradise will be helped to do the deeds of the people who will go to Paradise, and those who are among the number of those who go to Hell will be helped to do the deeds of those who will go to Hell.

Narrated Abu Dharr and Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to sit among his Companions. A stranger would come and not recognize him (the Prophet) until he asked (about him). So we asked the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to make a place where he might take his seat so that when a stranger came, he might recognise him. So we built a terrace of soil on which he would take his seat, and we would sit beside him. He then mentioned something similar to this Hadith saying: A man came, and he described his appearance. He saluted from the side of the assembly, saying: Peace be upon you, Muhammad. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then responded to him.

Ibn al-Dailami said: I went to Ubayy bin Kaab and said him: I am confused about Divine decree, so tell me something by means of which Allah may remove the confusion from my mind. He replied: were Allah to punish everyone in the heavens and in the earth. He would do so without being unjust to them, and were he to show mercy to them his mercy would be much better than their actions merited. Were you to spend in support of Allah’s cause an amount of gold equivalent to Uhud, Allah would not accept it from you till you believed in divine decree and knew that what has come to you could not miss you and that what has missed you could not come to you. Were you to die believing anything else you would enter Hell. He said: I then went to Abdullah bin Masud and he said something to the same effect. I next went to Hudhaifah bin al-Yaman and he said something to the same effect. I next went to Zaid bin Thabit who told me something from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to the same effect.

Ubadah bin al Samit said to his son: Sonny! You will not get the taste of the reality of faith until you know that what has come to you could not miss you, and that what has missed you could not come to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: The first thing Allah created was pen. He said to it: Write. It asked: What should I write, my lord? He said: Write what was decreed about everything till the Last hour comes. Sonny! I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: He who dies on something other than this does not does not belong to me.
