Upon the Authority of Abdullah ibn Amr [رضي الله عنهما] who said:
❝The Messenger of Allah came out to us [on an occasion] with two books in his hands and said: ‘Do you know what these two books are?’ so we said ‘No Oh messenger of Allah! Unless you inform us!’ So He said concerning the book in his right hand: ‘This is a book from the Lord of all the worlds, in it are the names of the people of paradise, their fathers names and their tribes. Their information is then summarised [at the end of the book] and concluded. There will be no increase [to the contents of the book] nor [decrease from it].’ Then he said concerning the book in his left hand: ‘This is a book from the lord of all the worlds in it are the names of the people of the hellfire, their fathers and their tribes. Their information is then summarised [at the end of the book] and concluded. There will be no increase [to the book] nor [decrease from it] ever.
[So] do that which is correct [and good] and come as close as possible to being upright and balanced. For indeed the last action that a person of paradise will perform [in the life of this world] will be one of the actions of the people of paradise [ie a good action], regardless of the actions he performs [ie through his life]. And indeed the last action a person of the hellfire will perform [in the life of this world], will be one of the actions of the people of hellfire, regardless of the actions he performs [ie through his life]. Your lord has concluded [grouping] his servants.’ [Then he recited] ‘A party in paradise and a party in Hellfire’ [Suratush Shuraa: 7].❞
