Sunan Abi Dawud 4616 (Book 42, Hadith 21) #24907
Predestination of Hell

SUMMARY: Allah has predetermined who will go to Hell, and no one can lead them astray.

Khalid al-Hadhdha asked al-Hasan about the Quranic verse: "Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah, except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing fire". He said: Except the one whom Allah destined that he should go to Hell.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ ‏{‏ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ * إِلاَّ مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ الْجَحِيمِ ‏}‏ قَالَ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَصْلَى الْجَحِيمَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the predestined fate of those who will go to hell. It is based on a verse from the Quran which states that no one can lead anyone into temptation concerning Allah, except those destined for the blazing fire. Al-Hasan explains this by saying that only those whom Allah has predetermined should go to hell will be led astray. This hadith teaches us that we should not worry about our fate because it is already determined by Allah and we cannot change it. We should instead focus on doing good deeds in order to gain His pleasure and mercy.
