ذِكْرُ كِتْبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَوْلَادَ آدَمَ لِدَارَيِ الْخُلُودِ، وَاسْتِعْمَالِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ لَهُمَا فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا
[Machine] Li Imran ibn Husayn, O Abu al-Aswad, have you seen what people are doing today and striving in it? Something has already been decreed upon them and passed, or what they are expecting of what their Prophet ﷺ has brought to them, and it has been used as evidence against them? So I said, indeed, something has been decreed upon them and it has passed over them.
لِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ يَا أَبَا الْأَسْوَدِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا يَعْمَلُ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ وَيَكْدَحُونَ فِيهِ أَشَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى أَوْ فِيمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُونَ مِمَّا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ ﷺ وَاتُّخِذَتْ بِهِ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ شَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ
