It was narrated that 'Ali said: We were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he had a stick in his hand. He scratched in the ground with it, then raised his head and said: 'There is no one among you but his place in Paradise or Hell has already been decreed.' He was asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, should we not then rely upon that?' He said: 'No, strive and do not rely upon that, for it will be made easy for each person to do that for which he was created.' Then he recited: As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, and believes in Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. And denies Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path for evil.

If anything befalls you, do not say, if only I had done such and such rather say Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha'a fa'ala (Allah has decreed and whatever he wills, He does). For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'

Adam said to him: O Musa, Allah chose you to speak with, and he wrote the Tawrah for you with His own Hand.
