82.2 The pen has become dry with Allah's Knowledge

٨٢۔٢ باب جَفَّ الْقَلَمُ عَلَى عِلْمِ اللَّهِ

[Machine] "And Allah misguided him with knowledge." Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "The pen has dried with what you are destined to receive." Ibn Abbas said, "They (the early believers) are the forerunners, happiness has preceded them."

{وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ} وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «جَفَّ الْقَلَمُ بِمَا أَنْتَ لاَقٍ». قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: {لَهَا سَابِقُونَ} سَبَقَتْ لَهُمُ السَّعَادَةُ.

A man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated) from the people of the Fire; The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?" The Prophet said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which he has been created to do or he will do those deeds which will be made easy for him to do." (i.e. everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created).  

البخاري:٦٥٩٦حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ الرِّشْكُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ قَالَ

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُعْرَفُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلِمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ قَالَ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ أَوْ لِمَا يُسِّرَ لَهُ
