The Response to the Jabriyyah Who Cite the Hadith: (That Allah the Exalted, when He created Adam, wiped his back,)
And it was mentioned in the hadith, the meaning of which is: (When Allah created Adam, He wiped him and said: These are for the Fire,Then He wiped another wipe and said: and these are for Paradise) How should one respond to the Jabriyyah if they cite this hadith?
Regarding this hadith, scholars have differed on its validity; is it authentic: (When Allah the Exalted created Adam, He wiped his back,And He brought forth his progeny from him and said: and these are for the Fire, and I do not care, and these are for Paradise, and I do not care) There is extensive discussion by scholars regarding this, and it is not a proof for the Jabriyyah; for the human being does what he wills by his own choice. Does any one of us know that he is among the people of the Fire or among the people of Paradise? No one knows. If he does not know, why does he proceed to do the deeds of the people of the Fire? Why does he not consider himself to be among the people of Paradise and act with the deeds of the people of Paradise? So there is no proof for the Jabriyyah in all the texts that indicate that Allah the Exalted wrote the decrees of all things before He created the heavens and the earth by fifty thousand years; for we say to the disobedient person,Or the one who says: that he is compelled: What is your evidence that Allah the Exalted created you among the people of the Fire? No one is able to know; for the divine decree is a hidden secret that is not known except when it occurs: [Luqman: 34] So there is no proof for the Jabriyyah in the texts indicating that everything is written and decreed.
