and the heavens will be in His right hand, whereupon He will proclaim, “I am the King.” (1)

He (2) said: Saʿid related it from Mālik.

Mālik has also narrated in his al-Muwaṭṭaʾ (3) through Zayd ibn Aslam, from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Zayd ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, who reported from Muslim ibn Yasār al-Juhanī, that ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb was asked about this (4) verse:
“And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam—from their loins—their descendants and made them testify about themselves, saying, ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They replied, ‘Yes indeed, we testify’…” (5).

ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) questioned about it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) responded:
“Allah—Blessed and Exalted—created Adam, then He passed His right hand over his back and drew forth from him offspring. He said, ‘I have created these for Paradise, and they will act with the deeds of the people of Paradise.’ He then passed [His hand] over his back again and drew forth other offspring, and He said, ‘I have created these for the Fire, and they will act with the deeds of the people of the Fire.’”

A man asked, “O Messenger of Allah, then what is the role of deeds?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied:
“When Allah—Blessed and Exalted—creates a servant for Paradise, He employs him in the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies while engaged in one of the deeds of the people of Paradise (6); and when He creates a servant for the Fire, He employs him in the deeds of the people of the Fire, until…"

(1) Sahih al-Bukhari, vol. 8, p. 173, Kitab al-Tawḥīd, chapter “The saying of Allāh: ‘When I created [them] with My hand’ (lammā khalaqtu biyadī).” In some editions it reads al-ard (the earth) instead of al-ardayn (the two earths). (2) The term “omitted” appears in the Ṭ edition, and it was struck out in the S edition. This note is by al-Bukhari (may God have mercy on him). (3) Al-Muwaṭṭaʾ, Book of Qadar, chapter “The prohibition of speaking about al-qadar (predestination),” p. 560, ḥadīth 2. (4) The phrase “ʿan hādhihi” is repeated in the original manuscript; this is a lapse by the copyist. (5) Qur’an 7:172. In the S edition it reads “wa dhurriyyatihim” (and their descendants), a scribal error. In al-Muwaṭṭaʾ, after “shahidnā” (we testified), it adds: “an taqūlū yawma al-qiyāmah innā kunnā ’an hādhā ghāfilīn.” (6) In al-Muwaṭṭaʾ; in Sunan al-Tirmidhī and Sunan Abū Dāwūd it appears as: “Ahl al-jannah fa-yadkhuluhā al-jannah” (“The people of Paradise—then Paradise will admit them”).
السماوات بيمينه ثم يقول: أنا الملك " (١) . قال (٢) : رواه سعيد عن مالك. وقد روى مالك في موطئه (٣) عن زيد بن أسلم، عن عبد الحميد بن عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن الخطاب، أنه أخبره عن مسلم بن يسار الجهني، أن عمر بن الخطاب سئل عن هذه (٤) الآية: {وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى شَهِدْنَا} (٥) . . . الآية، فقال عمر بن الخطاب: سمعت رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يسأل عنها، فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: "إن الله -تبارك وتعالى- خلق آدم، ثم مسح ظهره بيمينه، فاستخرج منه ذرية، فقال: خلقت هؤلاء للجنة وبعمل أهل الجنة يعملون، ثم مسح ظهره فاستخرج منه ذرية، فقال: خلقت هؤلاء للنار وبعمل أهل النار يعملون ". فقال رجل: يا رسول الله ففيم العمل؟ فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: " إن الله -تبارك وتعالى- إذا خلق العبد للجنة، استعمله بعمل أهل الجنة حتى يموت على عمل من أعمال أهل الجنة (٦) ، وإذا خلق العبد للنار، استعمله بعمل أهل النار، حتى
