Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Qatadah Salami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty created Adam (peace be upon him), then brought forth his offspring from his back and said: 'These are for Paradise, and I do not care; and these are for Hell, and I do not care.'" Someone asked: "O Messenger of Allah! According to what are we acting?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "According to destiny."
