Sahih al-Bukhari 4946 (Book 65, Hadith 468) #4728
Reaching Your Destined Place

SUMMARY: Everyone has a place in either Hell or Paradise, and it is important to do good deeds to reach the destined place.

Narrated 'Ali: While the Prophet was in a funeral procession, he took a small stick and started scraping the earth with it and said, "There is none among you but has his place written for him, either in the Hell Fire or in Paradise". They (the people) said, "Allah's Messenger ! Shall we depend on this (and leave work)?" He replied".Carry on doing (good deeds), for everybody will find easy (to do) such deeds as will lead him to his destined place". The Prophet then recited:-- 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah, and believes in the Best Reward'..(92:5-10)
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا يَنْكُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَوْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ قَالَ ‏"‏ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ‏{‏فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى * وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى‏}‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ مَنْصُورٌ فَلَمْ أُنْكِرْهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ‏"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that everyone has a predetermined place in either Heaven or Hell, and it is up to us to decide which one we will end up in. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged people to do good deeds as these will lead them towards their destined place. He then recited the verse from the Quran which states that whoever gives charity and keeps his duty towards Allah will be rewarded with the best reward. This hadith teaches us that our destiny is not fixed, but rather depends on our actions and how we choose to live our lives. We should strive for goodness so that we can reach our ultimate destination of Paradise.
