Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the truthful and truly-inspired, said, "Each one of you
collected in the womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns into a clot
for an equal period (of forty days) and turns into a piece of flesh for a
similar period (of forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders him to
write four things, i.e., his provision, his age, and whether he will be of the
wretched or the blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him.
And by Allah, a person among you (or a man) may do deeds of the people of the
Fire till there is only a cubit or an arm-breadth distance between him and the
Fire, but then that writing (which Allah has ordered the angel to write)
precedes, and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it; and a
man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise till there is only a cubit or two
between him and Paradise, and then that writing precedes and he does the deeds
of the people of the Fire and enters it."

A man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Can the people of Paradise be known
(differentiated) from the people of the Fire; The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes."
The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?" The Prophet 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).

(Muslim) so as to take her place, but she should marry the man (without
compelling him to divorce his other wife), for she will have nothing but what
Allah has written for her."

We witnessed along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the Khaibar (campaign). Allah's
Messenger (ﷺ) told his companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, "This
man is from the people of the Fire." When the battle started, the man fought
very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got crippled. On that, a
man from among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) came and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Do you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has
done? He has fought very bravely for Allah's Cause and he has received many
wounds." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But he is indeed one of the people of the Fire."
Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about that statement. So while
the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds troubled him so much
that he put his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow and committed suicide
with it. Off went some men from among the Muslims to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah has made your statement true. So-and-so
has committed suicide." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Bilal! Get up and
announce in public: None will enter Paradise but a believer, and Allah may
support this religion (Islam) with a wicked man."

While we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a holy battle, we never went up a
hill or reached its peak or went down a valley but raised our voices with
Takbir. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came close to us and said, "O people! Don't exert
yourselves, for you do not call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All-
Listener, the All-Seer." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Shall
I teach you a sentence which is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is): 'La
haula wala quwata illa billah. (There is neither might nor power except with
Allah).

share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is
the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the
tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and
longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain
from submitting to the temptation."

Journey to Jerusalem (and then to the heavens). The cursed tree which is

Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk

you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my
creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet (ﷺ) added,
repeating the Statement three times.
