16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from father from al-Hassan ibn Sayf from his father from those he mentioned from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “Once the Holy Prophet (s.a) addressed the people and he raised his right hand while holding his fingers closed and said, ‘Do you know, O people, what is in my hand?” They said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He then said, “In my hand there are the names of the people of Paradise, the names of their fathers and the names of their tribes up to the Day of Judgment. He then raised his left and asked, ‘O people, do you know what is my hand?” They said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He then said, “In my hand there are the names of the people of Hell, the names of their fathers and the names of teir tribes up to the day of Judgment.” Then he said, “Allah has decreed and He has done justice. Allah has decreed and He has done justice. One group will go to Paradise and the other group to Hell.”
