Jami at-Tirmidhi 2146, 2298 (Book 32, Hadith 14) #27779
The Predetermined Fate of Man

SUMMARY: Allah has a plan for everyone and it is predetermined when and where one will die.

Matar bin 'Ukamis narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "When Allah decrees that a slave (of His) is to die in a land, He makes him have some need from it". Another chain reports a similar narration.
حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ, قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَطَرِ بْنِ عُكَامِسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِأَرْضٍ جَعَلَ لَهُ إِلَيْهَا حَاجَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي عَزَّةَ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَلاَ يُعْرَفُ لِمَطَرِ بْنِ عُكَامِسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ غَيْرُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ. حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، نَحْوَهُ
