Hadith on Salvation: Allah alone decrees Paradise or Hell

Anas ibn Malik reported: On the day of Uhud, the front teeth of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, were broken and his head was wounded. The Prophet said, “How will a people succeed who have wounded their Prophet and broken his teeth, while he calls them to Allah?” Then, Allah Almighty revealed the verse, “You have no say in the matter. It is up to Allah to turn to them in mercy or punish them, for they are surely wrongdoers.” (3:128)

عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَشُجَّ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَسْلُتُ الدَّمَ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ شَجُّوا نَبِيَّهُمْ وَكَسَرُوا رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ
