Hisham ibn Hakim reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “O Messenger of Allah, shall we start acting or has fate already been decreed?” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah Almighty took the progeny of Adam from their backs and made them bear witness against themselves. Then, He announced to them in His palms, saying: These are in Paradise, and these are in Hellfire. Thus, the people of Paradise are facilitated for the deeds of Paradise, and the people of Hellfire are facilitated for the deeds of Hellfire.”

عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَبْتَدِئُ الْأَعْمَالَ أَمْ قَدْ قُضِيَ الْقَضَاءُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَخَذَ ذُرِّيَّةَ آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ بِهِمْ فِي كَفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ فِي النَّارِ فَأَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ مُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ
