Narrated Ali: While the Prophet
(peace be upon him) was in a funeral procession, he picked up something and
started scraping the ground with it, and said, “There is none among you but has
his place written for him either in the Hell Fire or in Paradise.” They said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we not depend upon what has been written for us and
give up deeds?” He said, “Carry on doing (good) deeds, for everybody will find
easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has
been created. So he who is destined to be among the happy (in the Hereafter),
will find it easy to do the deeds characteristic of such people, while he who
is destined to be among the miserable ones, will find it easy to do the deeds
characteristic of such people.” Then he recited:
“As for him who gives (in charity)
and fears Allah, and believes in the best…” (92.5-10)
