Muslim bin Yasar reported,

Umar bin Khattab was asked about this verse, "And when your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants, and made them bear witness concerning themselves, 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we bear witness.' This was so that you would not say on the Day of Resurrection, 'We were unaware of this'" [Araf 7:172].Umar bin Khattab replied, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allah created Adam, then wiped his back with His right hand and drew forth from him a progeny, and He said, "These I have created for Paradise, and they will act as the people of Paradise act." Then He wiped his back and drew forth from him a progeny, and He said, "These I have created for the Fire, and they will act as the people of the Fire act."'"A man asked, "Messenger of Allah, then what is the point of our deeds?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ answered, "When Allah creates a servant for Paradise, He employs him in the deeds of the people of Paradise, so that he dies performing one of the deeds of the people of Paradise, and his Lord admits him to Paradise. And when He creates a servant for the Fire, He employs him in the deeds of the people of the Fire, so that he dies performing one of the deeds of the people of the Fire, and his Lord admits him to the Fire."

و حدثني يحيى عن مالك عن زيد بن أبي أنيسة عن عبد الحميد بن عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن الخطاب أنه أخبره

عن مسلم بن يسار الجهني

أن عمر بن الخطاب سئل عن هذه الآية {وإذ أخذ ربك من بني آدم من ظهورهم ذريتهم وأشهدهم على أنفسهم ألست بربكم قالوا بلى شهدنا أن تقولوا يوم القيامة إنا كنا عن هذا غافلين} فقال عمر بن الخطاب سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يسأل عنها فقال رسول الله ﷺ إن الله تبارك وتعالى خلق آدم ثم مسح ظهره بيمينه فاستخرج منه ذرية فقال خلقت هؤلاء للجنة وبعمل أهل الجنة يعملون ثم مسح ظهره فاستخرج منه ذرية فقال خلقت هؤلاء للنار وبعمل أهل النار يعملون فقال رجل يا رسول الله ففيم العمل قال فقال رسول الله ﷺ إن الله إذا خلق العبد للجنة استعمله بعمل أهل الجنة حتى يموت على عمل من أعمال أهل الجنة فيدخله ربه الجنة وإذا خلق العبد للنار استعمله بعمل أهل النار حتى يموت على عمل من أعمال أهل النار فيدخله ربه النار.
