Volume 8, Book 77, Number 602:
Narrated ‘Ali:
While we were sitting with the Prophet who had a stick with which he was scraping the earth, he
lowered his head and said, “There is none of you but has his place assigned either in the Fire or in
Paradise.” Thereupon a man from the people said, “Shall we not depend upon this, O Allah’s Apostle?”
The Prophet said, “No, but carry on and do your deeds, for everybody finds it easy to do such deeds
(as will lead him to his place).” The Prophet then recited the Verse: ‘As for him who gives (in charity)
and keeps his duty to Allah..’ (92.5)
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 603:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
We witnessed along with Allah’s Apostle the Khaibar (campaign). Allah’s Apostle told his compan –
ions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, “This man is from the people of the Fire.” When the
battle started, the man fought very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got crippled.
On that, a man from among the companions of the Prophet came and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do
you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has done? He has fought very
bravely for Allah’s Cause and he has received many wounds.” The Prophet said, “But he is indeed one
of the people of the Fire.” Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about that statement.
So while the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds troubled him so much that he put
his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow and committed suicide with it. Off went some men
from among the Muslims to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allah has made your state –
ment true. So-and-so has committed suicide.” Allah’s Apostle said, “O Bilal! Get up and announce in
public: None will enter Paradise but a believer, and Allah may support this religion (Islam) with a
wicked man.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 77: DIVINE WILL (AL-QADAR)
There was a man who fought most bravely of all the Muslims on behalf of the Muslims in a battle
(Ghazwa) in the company of the Prophet. The Prophet looked at him and said. “If anyone would like
to see a man from the people of the Fire, let him look at this (brave man).” On that, a man from the
People (Muslims) followed him, and he was in that state i.e., fighting fiercely against the pagans till
he was wounded, and then he hastened to end his life by placing his sword between his breasts (and
pressed it with great force) till it came out between his shoulders. Then the man (who was watching
that person) went quickly to the Prophet and said, “I testify that you are Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet
asked him, “Why do you say that?” He said, “You said about so-and-so, ‘If anyone would like to see a
man from the people of the Fire, he should look at him.’ He fought most bravely of all of us on behalf
of the Muslims and I knew that he would not die as a Muslim (Martyr). So when he got wounded, he
hastened to die and committed suicide.” There-upon the Prophet said, “A man may do the deeds of
the people of the Fire while in fact he is one of the people of Paradise, and he may do the deeds of the
people of Paradise while in fact he belongs to the people of Fire, and verily, (the rewards of) the
deeds are decided by the last actions (deeds)”.
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 595:
Narrated Imran bin Husain:
A man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated) from the
people of the Fire; The Prophet 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).

Allah’s Apostle was asked about the offspring of the pagans. He said, “Allah knows what they
would have done (were they to live).”
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “No child is born but has the Islamic Faith, but its par –
ents turn it into a Jew or a Christian. It is as you help the animals give birth. Do you find among their
offspring a mutilated one before you mutilate them yourself?” The people said, “O Allah’s Apostle!
What do you think about those (of them) who die young?” The Prophet said, “Allah knows what they
would have done (were they to live).”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “No woman should ask for the divorce of her sister (Muslim) so as to take her
place, but she should marry the man (without compelling him to divorce his other wife), for she will
have nothing but what Allah has written for her.”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 593:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle, the truthful and truly-inspired, said, “Each one of you collected in the womb of his
mother for forty days, and then turns into a clot for an equal period (of forty days) and turns into a
piece of flesh for a similar period (of forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders him to
write four things, i.e., his provision, his age, and whether he will be of the wretched or the blessed (in
the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him. And by Allah, a person among you (or a man) may
do deeds of the people of the Fire till there is only a cubit or an arm-breadth distance between him
and the Fire, but then that writing (which Allah has ordered the angel to write) precedes, and he
does the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it; and a man may do the deeds of the people of
Paradise till there is only a cubit or two between him and Paradise, and then that writing precedes
and he does the deeds of the people of the Fire and enters it.”
