Sunan Abi Dawud 4696 (Book 42, Hadith 101) #24987
Predestination and Good Deeds

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that although our destiny is predetermined, we should still strive to do good deeds as it will help us reach Paradise.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Yahya b. Yamur and Humaid b. 'Abd al-Rahman through a different chain of narrators. This version has : we met 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar. We told him about divine decree and what they said about it. He then mentioned something similar to it. He added : A man of Muzainah or Juhainah asked : What is the good in doing anything, Messenger of Allah ? should we think that a thing has passed and gone or a thing that has happened now (without predestination)? He replied : About a thing that has passed and gone (ie predestined). A man or some people asked: Then, why action? He replied: Those who are among the number of those who go to Paradise will be helped to do the deeds of the people who will go to Paradise, and those who are among the number of those who go to Hell will be helped to do the deeds of those who will go to Hell.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ لَقِينَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ الْقَدَرَ وَمَا يَقُولُونَ فِيهِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ زَادَ قَالَ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ أَوْ جُهَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِيمَا نَعْمَلُ أَفِي شَىْءٍ قَدْ خَلاَ أَوْ مَضَى أَوْ شَىْءٍ يُسْتَأْنَفُ الآنَ قَالَ ‏"‏ فِي شَىْءٍ قَدْ خَلاَ وَمَضَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ النَّارِ يُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ

Strive for righteousness , Do good deeds

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the concept of predestination, which is the belief that Allah has already determined what will happen in our lives. Despite this, we are still encouraged to do good deeds as these will help us reach paradise. The hadith also mentions that those who are destined for hell will be helped to do the deeds of those who go there. This means that if someone does not strive to do good deeds, they may end up in hell due to their own actions. Therefore, it is important for us to make an effort and try our best to live a life of righteousness so that we can be rewarded with paradise in the hereafter.
