He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, ‘When Allah creates a servant for Paradise, He enables him to perform the deeds of the people of Paradise until he dies while engaged in one of those deeds and so admits him to Paradise; [then He passed His hand over his back]. And when He creates a servant for Hellfire, He enables him to perform the deeds of the people of Hell until he dies while engaged in one of those deeds and so admits him to the Fire.’”
