Is this Hadith authentic: "Indeed, Allah Almighty took the offspring of Adam from their loins, and made them testify against themselves, then He poured them onto His palms, and said: 'These are for Paradise, and these are for the Fire.' So, the people of Paradise are facilitated for the deeds of the people of Paradise, and the people of the Fire are facilitated for the deeds of the people of the Fire"?
This Hadith has been reported with different wordings, some of which were narrated by Ibn Abi Asim in "Kitab As-Sunnah" with an authentic chain of transmission. It was also reported with a similar meaning by Al-Bazzar and Al-Tabarani, and Al-Tabari narrated something similar in his Tafsir. Although the chain of transmission of this Hadith has been described as اضطراب (disrupted/shaky), its meaning is sound, and it is supported by other Ahadith in the two Sahih collections, such as the Hadith of Imran ibn Husayn: "Everyone acts according to what he was created for." It must be known that divine decree (Qadar) does not negate the will and choice of the servants; rather, their will is subservient to the will and choice of Allah. This is the doctrine of Ahl As-Sunnah wal Jama'ah.
