ON THE SUBJECT OF 160 THE SERMON AT THE GRAVE; MERIT OF EXCELLING IN GOOD DEEDS H 958 "We were in the graveyard of Baqi'ah attending a funeral when the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, came and sat down so we gathered round him. He had a pointed stick in his hand. He bent down and began to scrape the ground with his stick and said, 'Everyone of you has his place allotted either in the Fire or in Paradise.' The Companions asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, shouldn't we rely upon what is written in our record?' He answered, 'Keep on working, because everyone is guided to that which he was created for.'" R 958 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Ali may Allah honor his face - who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

" وذكَر تَمَامَ الحديث . متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ .
