Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that a man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Have the people of Hell already been distinguished from the people of Paradise?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) replied, "Yes, indeed." The man then asked, "Then why do those who act, perform deeds?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Every person acts according to that for which he was created."

Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us (one day) and mentioned everything that is to happen until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever was to remember it, remembered it, and whoever was to forget it, forgot it. And whatever I have forgotten, when I see it (happen), I recognize it just as a man recognizes someone who had been absent, and then when he sees him, he recognizes him.

Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "(Allah Almighty says:) 'A vow does not bring to the son of Adam anything except what I have already decreed for him. I only extract money from the miserly person through his vow.'"

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "Every caliph has two inner advisors; one encourages and directs him towards good, and the other directs him towards evil and wickedness. And the one who is protected (innocent) is he whom Allah Almighty safeguards from sins."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would often swear by saying: "No, by the Turner of the hearts." (That is, I swear by the One who turns the hearts.)
