Musnad Ahmad 6563

Translation

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ came out to us with two books in his hand and said: ‘Do you know what these two books are?’ We said: ‘No, unless you inform us, O Messenger of God.’ He said about the one in his right hand: ‘This is a book from the Lord of the Worlds, Blessed and Exalted, with the names of the people of Paradise, and the names of their fathers and their tribes. Then its total was concluded at the end of them; nothing is added to them and nothing is taken away from them ever.’ Then he said about the one in his left hand: ‘This is the book of the people of the Fire, with their names, the names of their fathers and their tribes. Then its total was concluded at the end of them; nothing is added to them and nothing is taken away from them ever.’ The companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘Then for what reason do we act, if this is a matter already decided?’ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘Strive to be correct and come close, for the person of Paradise will be sealed with the deeds of the people of Paradise, even if he does any deed, and the person of the Fire will be sealed with the deeds of the people of the Fire, even if he does any deed.’ Then he made a gesture with his hand and closed it, then he said: ‘Your Lord, Mighty and Exalted, has finished with the servants.’ Then he gestured with his right hand and cast it away, saying: ‘A party in Paradise,’ and cast with his left hand, saying: ‘A party in the blazing Fire.’
