حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْد اللَّهِ بْن أَحْمَد و حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبٌ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ} الْآيَةَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ لِلْجَنَّةِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَعْمَلُونَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةً فَقَالَ خَلَقْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ لِلنَّارِ وَبِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَعْمَلُونَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلْجَنَّةِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَإِذَا خَلَقَ الْعَبْدَ لِلنَّارِ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى عَمَلٍ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ النَّارَ.
Rawh narrated to us; Malik narrated to us. (A separate chain:) Ishaq narrated to us; Malik informed me. Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman ‘Abd Allah ibn Ahmad said: Mus‘ab al-Zubayri narrated to us; Malik narrated to me, from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysah, that ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, informed him, from Muslim ibn Yasar al-Juhani: ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, was asked about this verse: “And when your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants…” [Qur’an 7:172]. ‘Umar said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, being asked about it. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Allah created Adam, then wiped his back with His right hand and brought forth from him offspring. He said, “I created these for Paradise, and they will do the deeds of the people of Paradise.” Then He wiped his back and brought forth from him offspring. He said, “I created these for the Fire, and they will do the deeds of the people of the Fire.”’ A man said, ‘Messenger of Allah, then what is the point of deeds?’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘When Allah, Mighty and Majestic, creates a servant for Paradise, He employs him in the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies doing one of the deeds of the people of Paradise, and through it admits him to Paradise. And when He creates a servant for the Fire, He employs him in the deeds of the people of the Fire until he dies doing one of the deeds of the people of the Fire, and through it admits him to the Fire.’
