' I heard Salim bin 'Abdullah narrating a Hadith from his father who said: "'Umar said : "O Messenger of Allah! Do you see that what we do is a new matter- or a matter initiated – or it is a matter already concluded?” He ﷺ said: “ O Ibn Al-Khattab! It is a matter already concluded. For everyone is suited (for that for which he is created). As for one who is among the people of happiness, then he works for happiness, and as for the one who is among the people of misery, then he works for his misery.” (Hasan)  

عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ أَمْرٌ مُبْتَدَعٌ أَوْ مُبْتَدَأٌ أَوْ فِيمَا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ فِيمَا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاءِ  

What do you think about what we are striving for is it something already decided or something that is evolving now or something new? He said: “It is something already decided,ʿ ʿUmar said: Then why don't we rely on what is already decided? He said: ʿStrive, O son of al-Khattab, for everyone will be helped; whoever is one of the people of bliss will strive for that bliss and whoever is one of the people of doom will strive for that doom.”  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ أَقَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَوْ فِي شَيْءٍ مُبْتَدَإٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ مُبْتَدَعٍ؟ قَالَ فِيمَا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَلا نَتَّكِلُ؟ فَقَالَ اعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَيَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشَّقَاءِ فَيَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاءِ

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ أَمْرٌ مُبْتَدَعٌ أَوْ مُبْتَدَأٌ أَوْ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَاعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَإِنَّ كُلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ فَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ فَإِنَّهُيَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاءِ  

" (عَنْ عُمَر قَالَ: ) (*) قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أرَأَيْتَ مَا يُعْمَلُ فِيهِ، أَمْرٌ مُبْتَدَعٌ أَوْ مُبتَدَأٌ أَوْ مَا قَدْ فُرغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ: مَا قَدْ فُرغَ مِنْهُ، فَاعمَلْ يَا بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ، مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ أَوْ لِلسَّعَادَةِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ بِالشَّقَاءِ أَوْ لِلشَّقَاوَةِ".  

"فِيمَا قَدْ فَرغَ مِنْهُ يَا بْنَ الْخَطَّاب، وَكُلٌ مُيَسَّرٌ، أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلسعَادَةِ، وَأَمَّا مَن كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ للشَّقَاءِ".
