"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us with two books in hand. And he said: 'Do you know what these two books are?' We said: 'No, O Messenger of Allah ! Unless you inform us.' He said about the one that was in his right hand: 'This is a book from the Lord of the worlds, in it are the names of the people of Paradise, and the name of their fathers and their tribes. Then there is a summary at the end of them, there being no addition to them nor deduction from them forever.' Then he said about the one that was in his left: 'This is a book from the Lord of the worlds, in it are the names of the people of Fire, and the name of their fathers and their tribes. Then there is a summary at the end of them, there being no addition to them nor deduction from them forever.' The companions said: 'So why work O Messenger of Allah! Since the matter is already decided (and over)?' He said: 'Seek to do what is right and draw nearer, for indeed the inhabitant of Paradise, shall have his work sealed off with the deeds of the people of Paradise, whichever deeds he did. And indeed the inhabitant of Fire, shall have his work sealed off with the deeds of the people of Fire, whichever deeds he did.' Then the Messenger of Allah motioned with his hands, casting them down and said: 'Your Lord finished with the slaves, a group in Paradise, and a group in the Blazing Fire.'"

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِي يَدِهِ كِتَابَانِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَانِ الْكِتَابَانِ فَقُلْنَا لاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تُخْبِرَنَا فَقَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فِيهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَسْمَاءُ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ فَلاَ يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلاَ يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي شِمَالِهِ هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فِيهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَأَسْمَاءُ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ فَلاَ يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلاَ يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْجَنَّةِ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَىَّ عَمَلٍ وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ النَّارِ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَىَّ عَمَلٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدَيْهِ فَنَبَذَهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ فَرَغَ رَبُّكُمْ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍ نَحْوَهُ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي يَدِهِ كِتَابَانِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَانِ الْكِتَابَانِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُخْبِرَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِأَسْمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي يَسَارِهِ هَذَا كِتَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ إِذَنْ نَعْمَلُ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا أَمْرًا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْجَنَّةِ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ النَّارِ لَيُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَضَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ فَرَغَ رَبُّكُمْ ﷻ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِالْيُمْنَى فَنَبَذَ بِهَا فَقَالَ فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَنَبَذَبِالْيُسْرَى فَقَالَ فَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ

"أتدْرون ما هذان الكتابان؟ هذا كتابٌ من ربِّ العالمين، فيه أسماءُ أهلِ الجنة، وأسماءُ آبائهم، وقبائِلهِم، ثم أجمل على آخرِهم، فلا يُزَادُ فيهم، ولا يُنقَصُ منهم أبدًا، هذا كتاب من رب العالمين فيه أسماءُ أهل النار، وأسماء آبائِهم، وقَبَائِلهم، ثم أجمل على آخرهم، فلا يُزادُ فيهم، ولا يُنْقص منهم أبدا سدِّدوا وقاربوا، فإن صاحبَ الجنةِ يُختمُ له بعملِ أهل الجنَّةِ، وإن عملَ أىَّ عملٍ، وإن صاحب النار يختم له بعمل أهل النار، وإن عملَ أىّ عملٍ، فرغ ربُّكم من العباد، فريق في الجنةِ وفريقٌ في السعير".
