[6739] 10 - (2650) It was narrated that Abul-Aswad Ad-Dailī said: "Imrân bin Al-Ḥuṣain said to me: 'What do you think about what people are working and striving for today – is it something that has been previously decreed and decided for them, or, is it connected to that which their Prophet ﷺ brought to them so that proof may be established against them?'" "I said: 'It is something that has been previously decreed and decided for them.' He said: 'Wouldn't that be an injustice?' I was greatly disturbed by that, and I said: 'Everything is created by Allâh and belongs to Him; He is not to be questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.' "He said to me: 'May Allâh have mercy on you. I only asked you that in order to test your intelligence. Two men from Muzainah came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, what do you think about what people are working and striving for today – is it something that has been previously decreed and decided for them or is it connected to that which their Prophet ﷺ brought to them so that proof may be established against them?" "He (ﷺ) said: 'No, it is something that has been previously decreed and decided for them, and the confirmation of that is in the Book of Allâh (the Mighty and Sublime): "By Nafs (Âdam or a person or a soul), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him."

10 - (2650) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَا يَعْمَلُ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ وَيَكْدَحُونَ فِيهِ، أَشَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ قَدَرِ مَا سَبَقَ؟ أَوْ فِيمَا يُسْتَقْبَلُونَ بِهِ مِمَّا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ، وَثَبَتَتِ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلْ شَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَمَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ، قَالَ فَقَالَ: أَفَلَا يَكُونُ ظُلْمًا؟ قَالَ: فَفَزِعْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَزَعًا شَدِيدًا، وَقُلْتُ: كُلُّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقُ اللهِ وَمِلْكُ يَدِهِ، فَلَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ، فَقَالَ لِي: يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ بِمَا سَأَلْتُكَ إِلَّا لِأَحْزِرَ عَقْلَكَ، إِنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا يَعْمَلُ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ، وَيَكْدَحُونَ فِيهِ، أَشَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى فِيهِمْ مِنْ قَدَرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَ، أَوْ فِيمَا يُسْتَقْبَلُونَ بِهِ مِمَّا أَتَاهُمْ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُمْ، وَثَبَتَتِ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَا، بَلْ شَيْءٌ قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَضَى فِيهِمْ، وَتَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا "
