312. Speculating on Allah's Judgment

1005.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : وَيْلٌ للمُتَأ لِّينَ من اُمَّتي ، الَّذينَ يقولونَ : فُلانٌ في الجَنّةِ ، وفُلانٌ في النّارِ .¹

1005.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Woe to those who foretell [about Allah's actions] from among my community - those who proclaim that x will go to Paradise, but y will go to the Fire.' ²

1006.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : إنَّ رجُلاً قالَ يوماً : واللَّهِ، لا يَغفِرُاللَّهُ لفُلانٍ! فقالَ اللَّهُ عزّ وجلّ : مَنْ ذا الّذي تَأَلّى‏ علَيَّ أنْ لاأغفِرَ لفُلانٍ؟! فإنِّي قد غَفَرتُ لِفُلانٍ ، وأحْبَطْتُ عَملَ الثّاني بقولهِ: لا يَغفِرُ اللَّهُ لفُلانٍ .³

1006.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'A man said one day, 'I swear by Allah that He will not forgive so and so.' Allah, the Exalted, said, 'Who is he to foretell about what I will do - that I will not forgive this man? I indeed have forgiven him and annulled the work of the foretelling man because of his saying, 'Allah will not forgive him.' ⁴
