"عَنْ أَبِى مُحَمَّدٍ رجلٍ من أهل المدينةِ قال: سألت عمرَ بنَ الخطاب عن قوله تعالى: {وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ} قال: سألت النبى ﷺ كما سألتنى فقال: خلق الله آدمَ بيدِه ونفخ فيه من روحه، ثم أجلَسه فمسح ظهره بيده اليمنى فأخرج ذَرْءًا، فقال: ذرءٌ ذرأتُهم للجنة، ثم مسح ظهره بيده الأخرى - وكلتا يديه يمين - فقال: ذرءٌ ذرأتهم للنار يعملون فيما شئت من عمل، ثم أختم لهم بأسوأ أعمالِهم فأدخلهم النار".

“On the authority of Abu Muhammad, a man from the people of Madinah, who said: I asked 'Umar ibn al-Khattab about the saying of the Exalted: {And when your Lord took from the children of Adam from their backs their descendants}. He said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ as you have asked me, and he said: ‘Allah created Adam with His hand and breathed into him of His spirit. Then He seated him and wiped his back with His right hand and brought out offspring. He said: Offspring I have created for Paradise. Then He wiped his back with His other hand, and both His hands are right, and said: Offspring I have created for the Fire, and they will work at whatever deeds you wish. Then I will end for them with their worst deeds and admit them to the Fire.’”
