Sahih Muslim 2662b (Book 46, Hadith 46) #13841
The Afterlife According to Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the afterlife and how Allah has created both Paradise and Hell, as well as the inhabitants of each.

'A'isha, the mother of the believers, reported that a child died and I said: There is happiness for this child who is a bird from amongst the birds of Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: Don't you know that Allah created the Paradise and He created the Hell and He created the dwellers for this (Paradise) and the denizens for this (Hell)?
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَ صَبِيٌّ فَقُلْتُ طُوبَى لَهُ عُصْفُورٌ مِنْ عَصَافِيرِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ أَوَلاَ تَدْرِينَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْجَنَّةَ وَخَلَقَ النَّارَ فَخَلَقَ لِهَذِهِ أَهْلاً وَلِهَذِهِ أَهْلاً

In other words, Allah has predetermined who will go to Heaven and who will go to Hell based on their actions in this life. The hadith also reminds us that we should not be too quick to judge a person's fate after death because only Allah knows for sure where they will end up in the afterlife. We should instead focus on doing good deeds so that we can increase our chances of entering Heaven when our time comes.
