حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ: ثَنَا شَاذٌّ، قَالَ: ثَنَا عُمَرُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
الْعَبْدُ يُولَدُ مُؤْمِنًا، وَيَعِيشُ مُؤْمِنًا، وَيَمُوتُ مُؤْمِنًا، وَالْعَبْدُ يُولَدُ كَافِرًا، وَيَعِيشُ كَافِرًا، وَيَمُوتُ كَافِرًا، وَالْعَبْدُ يَعْمَلُ بُرْهَةً مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِالسَّعَادَةِ، ثُمَّ يُدْرِكُهُ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ، فَيَمُوتُ كَافِرًا، وَالْعَبْدُ يَعْمَلُ بُرْهَةً مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِالشَّقَاءِ، ثُمَّ يُدْرِكُهُ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ، فَيَمُوتُ سَعِيدًا
