We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, "There is none among you but has his place
written for him, either in Paradise or in the Hell-Fire." We said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we depend
(on this fact and give up work)?" He replied, "No! Carry on doing good deeds, for everybody will find
easy (to do) such deeds as will lead him to his destined place." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited: 'As for him
who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah, and believes in the Best reward. We will make
smooth for him the path of ease....the path for evil.' (92.5-10)

While we were in a funeral procession in Baqi Al-Gharqad, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came and sat down, and
we sat around him. He had a small stick in his hand and he bent his head and started scraping the
ground with it. He then said, "There is none among you, and no created soul but has his place written
for him either in Paradise or in the Hell-Fire, and also has his happy or miserable fate (in the
Hereafter) written for him." A man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we depend upon what is written for
us and give up doing (good) deeds? For whoever among us is destined to be fortunate (in the
Hereafter), will join the fortunate peoples and whoever among us is destined to be miserable will do
such deeds as are characteristic of the people who are destined to misery." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Those
who are destined to be happy (in the Hereafter) will find it easy and pleasant to do the deeds
characteristic of those destined to happiness, while those who are to be among the miserable (in the
Hereafter), will find it easy to do the deeds characteristic of those destined to misery." Then he recited: 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and believes in the Best reward from Allah,' (92.5-6)
