Divine protection and predestined fate

2141. hadíth

٢٠١. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): إِنَّ مَعَ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مَلَكَيْنِ يَحْفَظَانِهِ، فَإِذَا جَاءَ الْقَدَرُ خَلَّيَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ، وَإِنَّ الْأَجَلَ جُنَّةٌ حَصِينَةٌ.

201. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: With every individual there are two angels who protect him; when destiny approaches they let it have its own way with him. Certainly, the appointed time is a protective shield (against the events which occur before it).
