Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ السُّلَمِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ آدَمَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الْخَلْقَ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَا أُبَالِي وَهَؤُلَاءِ فِي النَّارِ وَلَا أُبَالِي قَالَ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَعَلَى مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ قَالَ عَلَى مَوَاقِعِ الْقَدَرِ.
English Translation
Al-Hasan ibn Sawwar told us: Layth — namely ibn Sa'd — told us, from Mu'awiyah, from Rashid ibn Sa'd, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Qatadah al-Sulami, who said: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'Indeed God, Mighty and Majestic, created Adam, then took his progeny from his back and said, These are for Paradise and I do not care, and these are for the Fire and I do not care.' He said: Then someone said, 'O Messenger of God, upon what basis do we act then?' He said, 'According to the outcomes decreed by predestination.'
