Abu Aswad Daili (may Allah have mercy on him) says: One morning I went to Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "O Abu Aswad," then he narrated the entire hadith. In it, it is mentioned: Indeed, a man from the tribe of Juhaina or Muzaina came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! The actions and efforts that people are performing these days upon the teachings brought by their Prophet, and through which the proof has been established against them, is this something that has already been decided in destiny, or is it happening anew?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is something that has already been decided and is being carried out upon those people." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Then why are people acting?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty, for whomever He has created for one of the two destinations, He also prepares him for the actions leading to it." The confirmation of this is in the Book of Allah in this verse: «فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا» Then He inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness. (Surah Ash-Shams: 8)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Companions said:“O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion about the deeds we are doing—are they something whose decision has already been made and finished, or is it something happening anew?”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“It is something whose decision has already been made and finished.”They said:“O Messenger of Allah! Then what is the reality of action?”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Every servant is made ready for that for which he was created.”
