Narrated ‘Abdullah:
While I was walking with Allah’s Apostle in one of the fields of Medina and he was walking lean –
ing on a stick, he passed a group of Jews. Some of them said to the others, “Ask him (the Prophet)
about the spirit.” Others said, “Do not ask him.” But they asked him and he stood leaning on the stick
and I was standing behind him and I thought that he was being divinely inspired. Then he said,
“They ask you concerning the spirit say: The spirit, its knowledge is with My Lord. And of knowledge

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
Allah’s Apostle the true and truly inspired, narrated to us, “The creation of everyone of you starts
with the process of collecting the material for his body within forty days and forty nights in the
womb of his mother. Then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period (40 days) and then
he becomes like a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then an angel is sent to him (by Allah) and the
angel is allowed (ordered) to write four things; his livelihood, his (date of) death, his deeds, and
whether he will be a wretched one or a blessed one (in the Hereafter) and then the soul is breathed
into him. So one of you may do (good) deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise so much that
there is nothing except a cubit between him and Paradise but then what has been written for him
decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) and
(ultimately) enters Hell (Fire); and one of you may do (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell
(Fire) so much so that there is nothing except a cubit between him and Hell (Fire), then what has
been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (good) deeds characteristic of the
people of Paradise and ultimately) enters Paradise.” (See Hadith No. 430, Vol. 4)

deed signs for the men of understanding.’ (3.190)

to Hell, ‘You are My Punishment which I inflict upon whom I wish, and I shall fill both of you.'” The
Prophet added, “As for Paradise, (it will be filled with good people) because Allah does not wrong any
of His created things, and He creates for Hell (Fire) whomever He will, and they will be thrown into
it, and it will say thrice, ‘Is there any more, till Allah (will put) His Foot over it and it will become full
and its sides will come close to each other and it will say, ‘Qat! Qat! Qat! (Enough! Enough! Enough!)
