Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysa that Abd al-Hamid ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn al-Khattab informed him from Muslim ibn Yasar al-Juhani that Umar ibn al-Khattab was asked about this ayat - "When your Lord took their progeny from the Banu Adam from their backs and made them testify against themselves. 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we bear witness' Lest you should say on the Day of Rising, 'We were heedless of that.'" (Sura 7 ayat 172) Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, being asked about it. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, created Adam. Then He stroked his back with His right hand, and progeny issued from it. He said, "I created these for the Garden and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Garden." Then He stroked his back again and brought forth progeny from him. He said, "I created these for the Fire and they will act with the behaviour of the people of the Fire." 'A man said, 'Messenger of Allah! Then of what value are deeds?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, answered, 'When Allah creates a slave for the Garden, he makes him use the behaviour of the people of the Garden, so that he dies on one of the actions of the people of the Garden and by it He brings him into the Garden. When He creates a slave for the Fire, He makes him use the behaviour of the people of the Fire, so that he dies on one of the actions of the people of the Fire, and by it, He brings him into the Fire

وحدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن زيد بن ابي انيسة، عن عبد الحميد بن عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن الخطاب، انه اخبره عن مسلم بن يسار الجهني، ان عمر بن الخطاب، سيل عن هذه الاية، {واذ اخذ ربك من بني ادم من ظهورهم ذريتهم واشهدهم على انفسهم الست بربكم قالوا بلى شهدنا ان تقولوا يوم القيامة انا كنا عن هذا غافلين} . فقال عمر بن الخطاب سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يسال عنها فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان الله تبارك وتعالى خلق ادم ثم مسح ظهره بيمينه فاستخرج منه ذرية فقال خلقت هولاء للجنة وبعمل اهل الجنة يعملون ثم مسح ظهره فاستخرج منه ذرية فقال خلقت هولاء للنار وبعمل اهل النار يعملون " . فقال رجل يا رسول الله ففيم العمل قال فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان الله اذا خلق العبد للجنة استعمله بعمل اهل الجنة حتى يموت على عمل من اعمال اهل الجنة فيدخله به الجنة واذا خلق العبد للنار استعمله بعمل اهل النار حتى يموت على عمل من اعمال اهل النار فيدخله به النار
