قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ} [الأعراف: 172]

Muslim ibn Yasar al-Juhani said: When Umar ibn al-Khattab was asked about the verse "When your Lord took their offspring from the backs of the children of Adam" - al-Qa'nabi recited the verse--he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say when he was questioned about it: Allah created Adam, then passed His right hand over his back, and brought forth from it his offspring, saying: I have these for Paradise and these will do the deeds of those who go to Paradise. He then passed His hand over his back and brought forth from it his offspring, saying: I have created these for Hell, and they will do the deeds of those who go to Hell. A man asked: What is the good of doing anything, Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When Allah creates a servant for Paradise, He employs him in doing the deeds of those who will go to Paradise, so that his final action before death is one of the deeds of those who go to Paradise, for which He will bring him into Paradise. But when He creates a servant for Hell, He employs him in doing the deeds of those who will go to Hell, so that his final action before death is one of the deeds of those who go to Hell, for which He will bring him into Hell.  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ سُئِلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ { وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ } قَالَ قَرَأَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ الآيَةَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ خَلَقَ آدَمَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ لِلْجَنَّةِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَعْمَلُونَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ لِلنَّارِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَعْمَلُونَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ إِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلْجَنَّةِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَإِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلنَّارِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ النَّارَ  

that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab was asked about this Ayah: And when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed and made them testify as to themselves: "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: 'Verily, we have been unaware of this (7:172).'" So 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed Allah created Adam, then He wiped his back with His Right Hand, and his offspring came out of him. So he said: "I created these for Paradise, and they will do the deeds of the people of Paradise." Then He wiped his back, and his offspring came out of him. So He said: "I created these for the Fire, and they will do the deeds of the people of the Fire." A man said: 'Then of what good is doing deeds O Messenger of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Verily, when Allah created a man for Paradise, He makes him perform the deeds of the people of Paradise, until he dies doing one of the deeds of the people of Paradise. So Allah will admit him into Paradise. And when He created a man for the Fire, He makes him perform the deeds of the people of the Fire until he dies doing the deeds of the people of the Fire. So Allah will enter him into the Fire.'"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysa that Abd al-Hamid ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn al-Khattab informed him from Muslim ibn Yasar al-Juhani that Umar ibn al-Khattab was asked about this ayat - "When your Lord took their progeny from the Banu Adam from their backs and made them testify against themselves. 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we bear witness' Lest you should say on the Day of Rising, 'We were heedless of that.'" (Sura 7 ayat 172) Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, created Adam. Then He stroked his back with His right hand, and progeny issued from it. He said, "I created these for the Garden and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Garden." Then He stroked his back again and brought forth progeny from him. He said, "I created these for the Fire and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Fire." 'A man said, 'Messenger of Allah! Then of what value are deeds?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ answered, 'When Allah creates a slave for the Garden, he makes him use the behaviour of the people of the Garden, so that he dies on one of the actions of the people of the Garden and by it He brings him into the Garden. When He creates a slave for the Fire, He makes him use the behaviour of the people of the Fire, so that he dies on one of the actions of the people of the Fire, and by it, He brings him into the Fire.' "

ʿAnd (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loinsʿ [al-Aʿraf 7:172], ʿUmar ؓ said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about it and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿAllah created Adam, then He passed His right hand over his loins and brought forth from him his offspring and said: I have created these for Paradise and they will do the deeds of the people of Paradise. Then He passed (His hand) over his loins and brought forth from him his offspring and said: I have created these for Hell and they will do the deeds of the people of Hell.” A man said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, why then should we strive? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWhen Allah creates a person for Paradise, He causes him to do the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies doing one of the deeds of the people of Paradise and is admitted to Paradise thereby. And when He creates a person for Hell, He causes him to do the deeds of the people of Hell until he dies doing one of the deeds of the people of Hell and is admitted to Hell thereby.”

He said, "When Allah creates a servant for Paradise, He employs him with the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies upon the actions of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.

"إِنَّ الله - تَعَالى - خَلَقَ آدَمَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَاستَخْرجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً، فَقَال: خَلَقْتُ هؤُلاءِ لِلجَنَّةِ، وَبَعَمَلِ أهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَعْمَلُونَ؛ ثُمَّ مَسَح ظَهْرَهُ، فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَال: خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلاءِ للنَّارِ وَبِعمَلِ أهْلِ النَّارِ يعْمَلُونَ. فَقَال رَجُلٌ: يا رَسُولَ الله فَفِيمَ العَمَلُ؟ قَال: إِنَّ الله - تَعَالى - إِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ للجَنَّةِ اسْتَعْملَهُ بِعَمَل أهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حتَّى يمُوت عَلَى عَمَل مَنْ أعْمَالِ أهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيُدْخِلَهُ به الْجَنَّةَ؛ وإِذَا خَلَقَ العبْدَ للنَّارِ اسْتعْملَهُ بِعَمَل أهْلِ النَّارِ حتَّى يمُوت عَلَى عَمَل مَنْ أعْمَالِ أهْلِ النَّارِ، فَيُدْخِلَهُ بهِ النَّارَ".  

"خلَقَ اللَّه آدَمَ ثمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ بيمِينِهِ فَاسْتخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ: خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ لِلْجَنَّةِ، وبعَمل أَهْل الْجَنَّةِ يَعْمَلُونَ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ: خَلَقْتُ هَذِهِ لِلنَّارِ، وَبِعَمَل أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَعملونَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه فَفِيمَ العمل؟ فقال: إن اللَّه إذا خلق العبد للجنة استعمله بعمل أهل الجنة حَتَّى يَمُوتَ علَى عَمل مِنْ أَعْمَال الْجَنَّةِ فِيُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَإِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلنَّارِ اسْتعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَل أَهْل النَّارِ حَتَّى يمُوت علَى عملٍ مِنْ أَعْمالِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ النَّارَ".  

"عَنْ مسلم بن يسارٍ أن عمر بن الخطابِ سئل عن هذه الآية: {وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ} فقال: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ سئل عنها، فقال رسول الله ﷺ إن الله تبارك وتعالى خلق آدم، ثم مسح ظهره بيمينه فاستخرج منه ذُرِّية، فقال: خلقت هؤلاء للجنة وبعمل أهل الجنة يعملون، ثم مسح ظهره فاستخرج منه ذريةً، فقال: خلقت هؤلاء للنارِ وبعملِ أهل النارِ يعملون، فقال رجل: يا رسول الله: ففيم العمل؟ قال: فقال رسول الله ﷺ : إن الله إذا خلق العبدَ للجنة استعملَه بعملِ أهل الجنة، وإذا خلق العبد للنارِ استعمله بعملِ أهل النارِ، حتى يموت على عملٍ من أعمال أهلِ النار فَيُدْخِلَهُ به النار".
