1. Hazrat Abdullah bin Amar (RA) narrated that:

“The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came out with two books in hand. And he said: ‘Do you know what these two books are?’ We said: No, O Messenger of Allah! Unless you inform us. He said about the one that was in his right hand: ‘This is a book from the Lord of the worlds, in it, are the names of the people of Paradise, and the name of their fathers and their tribes. Then there is a summary at the end of them, there being no addition to them nor deduction from them forever.’ Then he said about the one that was in his left: ‘This is a book from the Lord of the worlds, in it, are the names of the people of Fire, and the name of their fathers and their tribes. Then there is a summary at the end of them, there being no addition to them nor deduction from them forever.’ The companions said: ‘So why to work O Messenger of Allah! Since the matter is already decided (and over)?’ He said: ‘Seek to do what is right and draw nearer, for indeed the inhabitant of Paradise, shall have his work sealed off with the deeds of the people of Paradise, whichever deeds he did. And indeed, the inhabitant of Fire shall have his work sealed off with the deeds of the people of Fire, whichever deeds he did.’ Then the Messenger of Allah motioned with his hands, casting them down and said: ‘Your Lord finished with the slaves, a group in Paradise, and a group in the Blazing Fire.'” Another chain reports a similar narration.

2. Hazrat Abdul-Wahid bin Sulaim narrated that:

“I arrived in Makkah and met Ata bin Abi Rabah. I said to him: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The people of Al-Basrah speak about Al-Qadar.’ He said: O my son! Do you recite the Holy Quran?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then recite Az-Zukhruf to me.'” He said: ‘So I recited: Ha Mim. By the manifest Book. Verily, We have made it a Quran in Arabic that you may be able to understand. And certainly, it is in the Mother of Book with Us, indeed exalted, full of wisdom. Then he said: ‘Do you know what Mother of Books is?’ I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said:’It a book that Allah wrote before He created the Heavens and the earth. It is (written): Fir’awn is among the inhabitants of the Fire, and in it is: Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!’Ata said: ‘I met Al-Walid the son of Ubadah bin As-Samit the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and asked him:’What was your father’s admonition when he died?” He said: “He called me and said: ‘O my son! Have Taqwa of Allah, and know that you will never have Taqwa of Allah until you believe in Allah, and you believe in Al-Qadar- all of it-its good and its bad. If you die upon other than this, you shall enter the Fire. Indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying: “Verily the first of what Allah created was the Pen. So He said: ‘Write.’ It said: ‘What shall I write?’ He said: ‘Write Al-Qadar, what it is, and what shall be, until the end.
