A--- Allah the Almighty says: {And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify"}. (Al-A' raf, 172)

Ibn Ishaq Ibn Rahawaih narrated that a man said: "O Allah's Messenger! Are deeds to be initiated, or is everything already ordained?' He (Peace be upon him) said: 'When Allah the Almighty brought out the Children of Adam from his loin, He made them testify as to themselves, then He put them in His Palm and said: 'these are for Paradise and these are for Hell- :fire. The people of Paradise are facilitated for them the deeds of the people of Paradise, and the people of Hellfire are facilitated for them the deeds of the people of Hellfire. " In Al-Muwata' of Imam Malik: 'Vmar Ibn AIKhattab (May Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this verse: {And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify, "}. (Al-A'raf, 172) He (`Umar) said: "I heard Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) when asked (the same question)

about it saying: 'Allah, Glory is His, created Adam, then He wiped his back with His Right Hand, till He brought out. of him offspring and said: 'I created these for Paradise and (so) they will proceed to the deeds of the people of Paradise.' Then, He wiped his back and brought out of him offspring and said: 'I created these for Hellfire and (so) they will proceed to the deeds of the people of Hellfire.’” (Malik, Abu Dawud, Ahmed and At- Tirmidhi)
