Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قَبِيلٍ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ عَنْ شُفَيٍّ الْأَصْبَحِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي يَدِهِ كِتَابَانِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَانِ الْكِتَابَانِ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُخْبِرَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِأَسْمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلَّذِي فِي يَسَارِهِ هَذَا كِتَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَقَبَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ أُجْمِلَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ لَا يُزَادُ فِيهِمْ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْهُمْ أَبَدًا ف
َقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ إِذَنْ نَعْمَلُ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا أَمْرًا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْجَنَّةِ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ النَّارِ لَيُخْتَمُ لَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنْ عَمِلَ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَضَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ فَرَغَ رَبُّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ الْعِبَادِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِالْيُمْنَى فَنَبَذَ بِهَا فَقَالَ فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَنَبَذَ بِالْيُسْرَى فَقَالَ فَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Hashim ibn al-Qasim, from Layth, from Abu Qabil al-Ma'afiri, from Shufi al-Asbahi — that he said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us holding two books in his hands. He said: "Do you know what these two books are?" We said: "No, O Messenger of Allah — unless you tell us." He said regarding the one in his right hand: "This is a book from the Lord of the Worlds containing the names of the people of Paradise and the names of their fathers and their tribes — sealed at the end, with nothing added and nothing removed from it." And regarding the one in his left hand: "This is a book from the Lord of the Worlds containing the names of the people of the Fire and the names of their fathers and their tribes — sealed at the end, with nothing added and nothing removed." The Companions said: "Then what is the purpose of deeds, O Messenger of Allah, if the matter has been determined?" He said: "Be upright and do your best — for the people of Paradise end their lives with the deeds of the people of Paradise, and the people of the Fire end their lives with the deeds of the people of the Fire. And your Lord never wrongs His servants."'
