(7) باب لُزُومِ السُّنَّةِ
Khalid al-Hadhdha said:
I said to al-Hasan: Abu Sa'id, tell me about Adam. Was he created for the heaven or the earth? He said: No, for the earth. I said: It was unavoidable for him. I said: Tell me about the following verse of the Quran: "can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah, except such as are (themselves) going to blazing fire." He said: The devils do not lead anyone astray by their temptation except the one whom Allah destined to go to Hell. (DE)
