It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Have the people of Hell been distinguished from the people of Paradise?" He (peace be upon him) replied: "Yes." They asked: "Then why do those who act, perform deeds?" He (peace be upon him) said: "Everyone is doing the deed for which he was created or which has been made easy for him."

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.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every nation has its Magians, and the Magians of my nation are those who say that there is no destiny. If these people fall ill, do not visit them, and if they die, do not attend their funerals."

(Second chain) The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, in every nation there are Magians, and the Magians of my nation are those who deny destiny. So if these people die, do not attend their funerals, and if they fall ill, do not visit them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will be metamorphosis in my Ummah (i.e., their forms will be distorted). Beware! This will be among those who deny destiny and among the heretics."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, in every nation there are Magians, and the Magians of this Ummah are those who say that there is no destiny. If any of them falls ill, do not visit him, and if any of them dies, do not attend his funeral. These people will be the followers of Dajjal, and it is incumbent upon Allah to join them with him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The disobedient and ill-mannered, the one who constantly drinks alcohol, and the one who denies destiny will not enter Paradise.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out one day and the people were discussing the topic of destiny (qadar). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became so angry that it seemed as if a pomegranate seed had burst on his face (i.e., his face turned red with anger). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is wrong with you? You are striking one part of Allah’s Book against another. It was for this very reason that the people before you were destroyed." Sayyiduna Abdullah said: Never did I feel so much envy for missing a gathering in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was present as I did for this gathering, wishing that I had not been present (so that I would not have become the subject of the Prophet’s anger).

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Neither join the gatherings of the Qadariyyah (those who deny predestination), nor appoint them as rulers (or do not argue and debate with them)."
