Narrated `Ali: We were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqi-I-Gharqad. The Prophet came to us and sat and we sat around him. He had a small stick in his hand then he bent his head and started scraping the ground with it. He then said, There is none among you, and not a created soul, but has place either in Paradise or in Hell assigned for him and it is also determined for him whether he will be among the blessed or wretched. A man said, O Allah's Apostle! Should we not depend on what has been written for us and leave the deeds as whoever amongst us is blessed will do the deeds of a blessed person and whoever amongst us will be wretched, will do the deeds of a wretched person? The Prophet said, The good deeds are made easy for the blessed, and bad deeds are made easy for the wretched. Then he recited the Verses:-- As for him who gives (in charity) and is Allah-fearing And believes in the Best reward from Allah. (92.5-6)
