حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَالْأَعْمَشِ سَمِعَا سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ کَانَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَجَعَلَ يَنْکُتُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْکُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا کُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنْ النَّارِ أَوْ مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا أَلَا نَتَّکِلُ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَکُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَی وَاتَّقَی الْآيَةَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7552
Narrated `Ali: While the Prophet was in a funeral procession, he took a stick and started scraping the earth with it and said, "There is none of you but has his place assigned either in Hell or in Paradise." They (the people) said, "Shall we not depend upon that (and give up doing any deeds)?' He said, " Carry on doing (good deeds) for everybody will find it easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created ." (And then the Prophet recited the Verse):-- 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah...' (92.5)
