'Ali said, "The Prophet ﷺ was in a funeral procession an he picked up something and began to scratch the ground with it. He said, 'There is none of you who does not have his seat written either in the Fire or in the Garden.' They said, 'Messenger of Allah, then should we not rely on what is written for us and abandon action?' 'Act.' he said. 'Every thing is easy if you were created for it.' He added, 'As for someone who is one of the people of happiness, it is easy for him to perform the actions of happiness. As for someone who is one of the people of wretchedness, it is easy for him to perform the actions of wretchedness.' Then he recited, 'As for him who gives out and has taqwa and confirms the Good' (92:5-10)

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ شَيْئًا فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِهِ فِي الأَرْضِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ قَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ؟ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ قَالَ أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَسَيُيَسَّرُ لِعَمَلِ السَّعَادَةِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَسَيُيَسَّرُ لِعَمَلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى}

We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ in a funeral procession at Baqi Al-Gharqad. He said, "There is none of you but has his place written for him in Paradise or in the Hell- Fire." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we depend (on this fact and give up work)?" He said, "Carry on doing (good deeds), for every body will find it easy to do (what will lead him to his destined place)." Then he recited: 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah, and believes in the Best reward from Allah (i.e. Allah will compensate him for what he will spend in Allah's way). So, We will make smooth for him the path of ease. But he who is a greedy miser....for him, the path for evil.' (92.5-10)

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى * وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {لِلْعُسْرَى}

While the Prophet ﷺ was in a funeral procession, he took a small stick and started scraping the earth with it and said, "There is none among you but has his place written for him, either in the Hell Fire or in Paradise." They (the people) said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we depend on this (and leave work)?" He replied. "Carry on doing (good deeds), for everybody will find easy (to do) such deeds as will lead him to his destined place." The Prophet ﷺ then recited:-- 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah, and believes in the Best Reward.'.....(92.5-10)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا يَنْكُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَوْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى * وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى} الآيَةَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ مَنْصُورٌ فَلَمْ أُنْكِرْهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ

We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "There is none among you but has his place written for him, either in Paradise or in the Hell-Fire." We said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we depend (on this fact and give up work)?" He replied, "No! Carry on doing good deeds, for everybody will find easy (to do) such deeds as will lead him to his destined place." Then the Prophet ﷺ recited: 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah, and believes in the Best reward. We will make smooth for him the path of ease....the path for evil.' (92.5-10)

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ قَالَ لاَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى * وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى * فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى}

While the Prophet ﷺ was in a funeral procession. he picked up something and started scraping the ground with it, and said, "There is none among you but has his place written for him either in the Hell Fire or in Paradise." They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we not depend upon what has been written for us and give up deeds? He said, "Carry on doing (good) deeds, for everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created. So he who is destined to be among the happy (in the Hereafter), will find it easy to do the deeds characteristic of such people, while he who is destined to be among the miserable ones, will find it easy to do the deeds characteristic of such people." Then he recited: 'As for him who gives (in charity) and fears Allah, and believes in the best....' (92.5-10)

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ شَيْئًا فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِهِ الأَرْضَ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ فَيُيَسَّرُ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى * وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى} الآيَةَ

A man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated) from the people of the Fire; The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?" The Prophet said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which he has been created to do or he will do those deeds which will be made easy for him to do." (i.e. everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created).

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُعْرَفُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلِمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ قَالَ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ أَوْ لِمَا يُسِّرَ لَهُ

While we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ who had a stick with which he was scraping the earth, he lowered his head and said, "There is none of you but has his place assigned either in the Fire or in Paradise." Thereupon a man from the people said, "Shall we not depend upon this, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but carry on and do your deeds, for everybody finds it easy to do such deeds (as will lead him to his place)." The Prophet ﷺ then recited the Verse: 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah..' (92.5)

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ عُودٌ يَنْكُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ وَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ قَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَوْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى} الآيَةَ

While the Prophet ﷺ was in a funeral procession, he took a stick and started scraping the earth with it and said, "There is none of you but has his place assigned either in Hell or in Paradise." They (the people) said, "Shall we not depend upon that (and give up doing any deeds)?' He said, " Carry on doing (good deeds) for everybody will find it easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created ." (And then the Prophet ﷺ recited the Verse):-- 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah...' (92.5)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَوْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا أَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى} الآيَةَ

There is not one amongst you who has not been allotted his seat in Paradise or Hell. They said: Messenger of Allah. then, why should we perform good deeds, why not depend upon our destiny? Thereupon he said. No, do perform good deeds, for everyone is facilitated in that for which he has been created; then he recited this verse:" Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end..." (xcii. 5-10).

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ جَالِسًا وَفِي يَدِهِ عُودٌ يَنْكُتُ بِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ عُلِمَ مَنْزِلُهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلِمَ نَعْمَلُ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ قَالَ لاَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى * وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ { فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى}

that it was said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Are the people of Jannah ˹already˺ known from the people of Hellfire? He said, then he (the Prophet) said: "Yes." He said, it was again said: Then what is the use of ˹anyone˺ doing ˹any˺ deeds? He (the Prophet) said: "Everyone is facilitated toward what has been created for him."

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ۔» قَالَ: قِيلَ: فَفِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ: «كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ۔»

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was asked : Is it known who are those who will go to paradise and those who will go to hell? He said : Yes. He asked : Then what is the good of doing anything by those who act? He replied : Everyone is helped to do for which he has been created.

قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَفِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ قَالَ كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

"We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he was scraping the ground, when he raised his head to the heavens, then said: 'There is not one of you but (his place) is known' – Waki said: 'His place has been decreed (be it) in the Fire, and (or) his place in Paradise.' They said: 'Shall we not rely upon this O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'No. Work, for everyone is facilitated for what he was created.'”(Sahih)

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَنْكُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِذْ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ قَدْ عُلِمَ وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ إِلاَّ قَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

"We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he had a stick in his hand. He scratched in the ground with it, then raised his head and said: 'There is no one among you but his place in Paradise or Hell has already been decreed.' He was asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, should we not then rely upon that?' He said: 'No, strive and do not rely upon that, for it will be made easy for each person to do that for which he was created.' Then he recited: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, and believes in Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. And denies Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path for evil. "

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَبِيَدِهِ عُودٌ فَنَكَتَ فِي الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ قَالَ لاَ اعْمَلُوا وَلاَ تَتَّكِلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى * وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى * فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى * وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى * وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى * فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى}

I heard my father say that his father heard Abu Bakr saying: I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : O Messenger of Allah, are we striving for something that has already been decided or is it something to be decided as events unfold? He said: ʿRather it is for something that has already been decided.ʿ I said: So why should we strive, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “Each person will be enabled to do that for which he has been created.ʿ

أَنَّ أَبَاهُسَمِعَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ عَلَى مَا فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَوْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ مُؤْتَنَفٍ؟ قَالَ بَلْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ at a funeral - I [the narrator] think he said in Baqeeʿ al-Gharqad - and he struck the ground (with a stick), then he lifted his head and said: “There is no one among you but Allah has decreed his place in Paradise or his place in Hell.” We said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, shouldnʿt we rely on that? He said: ʿNo, rather strive, for each will be enabled [to do the appropriate deeds].” Then he recited: ʿAs for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, And believes in Al-Husna.ʿ We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self sufficient. And belies Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path for evil” [Al-Lail 92:5-10]. (Al-Husna: The Best (i.e. either La ilaha illAllaah: none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) or a reward from Allah (i.e. Allah will compensate him for what he will spend in Allahʿs way or bless him with Paradise) Footnote from Hilali/Khan Translation of meanings)

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةٍ أُرَاهُ قَالَ بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ قَالَ فَنَكَتَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا قَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا نَتَّكِلُ؟ قَالَ لَا اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلعُسْرَى} [الليل 510]

ʿThere is no one among you but Allah has decreed his place in Hell or his place in Paradise.ʿ They said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, shouldnʿt we rely on that? He said: ʿNo, rather strive, for each will be enabled to do the appropriate deeds. Then he recited: ʿAs for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, And believes in Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. And belies Al-Husna, We will make smooth for him the path for evil” [Al-Lail 92:5-10]. Shuʿbah said. Mansoor bin al-Muʿtamir narrated it to me and I did not object to the hadeeth of Sulaiman at all. Al-Husna: The Best (i.e. either La ilaha illAllah : none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) or a reward from Allah (i.e. Allah will compensate him for what he will spend in Allahʿs way or bless him with Paradise) [Footnote from Hilali/Khan Translation of the Meanings]

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا يَنْكُتُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلا قَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَوْ مِنَالجَنَّةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا نَتَّكِلُ؟ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِليُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلعُسْرَى قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ فَلَمِ انْكِرْ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ شَيْئًا

[Machine] O Messenger of Allah, what is the (purpose of) action? Is it for something that has already been completed? Or is it for something that we continue to do? He (the Prophet) said, rather it is for something that has already been completed. He said then what is the purpose of action? He said, "Keep working, for everyone will find it easy to do what he has been created for."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ أَفِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ أَوْ فِي شَيْءٍ نَسْتَأْنِفُهُ؟ فَقَالَ بَلْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ إِذًا؟ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, do we work for a task that has already been completed? Or do we work for a task that we have not yet done?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "We work for a task that has already been completed." Surahqa then asked, "Then what is the benefit of doing any work?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every worker is facilitated in his work."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ أَمْ لِأَمْرٍ نَأْتَنِفُهُ؟ قَالَ لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ سُرَاقَةُ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ إِذًا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُّ عَامِلٍ مُيَسَّرٌ لِعَمَلِهِ

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we work on a new matter or a matter that has already been completed?" He replied, "No, rather work on a matter that has already been completed." He then asked, "What should we do then?" He said, "All of you should do that which is made easy for him."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ فِي أَمْرٍ مُسْتَأْنَفٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ فِي أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَفِيمَ نَعْمَلُ إِذًا؟ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

[Machine] I asked, O Messenger of Allah, should we do something that has already started or something that has already been completed? He replied, rather do something that has already been completed. I asked, then what should we do? He said, do what is easy for each person according to what they have been created for.

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ فِي أَمْرٍ مُسْتَأْنَفٍ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ بَلْ فِي أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

[Machine] "Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked or it was said to him, 'Will the people of the hellfire be recognized from the people of Paradise?' He said, 'Yes.' It was said, 'Why then do the workers (people of Paradise) work?' He said, 'Everyone works according to what he was created for or what has been made easy for him.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَوْ قِيلَ لَهُ أَيُعْرَفُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلِمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ يَعْمَلُ كُلٌّ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ أَوْ لِمَا يُسِّرَ لَهُ

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was asked : Is it known who are those who will go to paradise and those who will go to hell? He said : Yes. He asked : Then what is the good of doing anything by those who act? He replied : Everyone is helped to do for which he has been created. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4709)

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ

[Machine] From Abu Darda', they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about actions that have been completed? Or should we continue doing them?" He said, "Rather, actions that have been completed." They said, "So what about the action, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Every person is made for what he was created for."

عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَمْ شَيْءٌ نَسْتَأْنِفُهُ؟ قَالَ بَلْ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالُوا فَكَيْفَ بِالْعَمَلِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُهَيَّأٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, should we strive in something we have missed or in something we have completed?" He said, "No, you should strive in something you have completed." He asked, "Then what should we strive for?" He replied, "O Umar, that can only be achieved through work." He said, "So, shall we make an effort, O Messenger of Allah?"

عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَعْمَلُ فِي شَيْءٍ نَأْتَنِفُهُ أَمْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ لَا يُدْرَكُ ذَاكَ إِلَّا بِالْعَمَلِ» قَالَ إِذًا نَجْتَهِدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

that it was said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Are the people of Jannah ˹already˺ known from the people of Hellfire? He said, then he (the Prophet) said: "Yes." He said, it was again said: Then what is the use of ˹anyone˺ doing ˹any˺ deeds? He (the Prophet) said: "Everyone is facilitated toward what has been created for him." (Using translation from Muslim 2649a)

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قِيلَ فَمَا يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ ﷺ «كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ»

We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ at a funeral - I [the narrator] think he said in Baqeeʿ al-Gharqad - and he struck the ground (with a stick), then he lifted his head and said: “There is no one among you but Allah has decreed his place in Paradise or his place in Hell.” We said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, shouldnʿt we rely on that? He said: ʿNo, rather strive, for each will be enabled [to do the appropriate deeds].” Then he recited: ʿAs for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, And believes in Al-Husna.ʿ We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self sufficient. And belies Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path for evil” [Al-Lail 92:5-10]. (Al-Husna: The Best (i.e. either La ilaha illAllaah: none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) or a reward from Allah (i.e. Allah will compensate him for what he will spend in Allahʿs way or bless him with Paradise) Footnote from Hilali/Khan Translation of meanings) (Using translation from Aḥmad 1110)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ فقَالَ «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ» فقَال رَجُلٌ أَلَا نَتَّكِلُ؟ فقَالَ «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى}

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا يَنْكُتُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فقَالَ «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ مِنَ النَّارِ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نَتَّكِلُ؟ قَالَ «اعْمَلُوا كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى} »

[Machine] He said, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, should we do work that has already been completed or work that is yet to be completed?' He replied, 'Do the work that has already been completed.' I then asked, 'So, what should we do with regards to work?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Every worker will be facilitated for his work.'"

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَعْمَلُ لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَمْ لِأَمْرٍ نَأْتَنِفُهُ؟ قَالَ «لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ إِذًا؟ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ عَامِلٍ مُيَسَّرٌ لِعَمَلِهِ»

قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ { فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيُّ وَسَعِيدٌ } قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ أَشَيْءٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَمْ شَيْءٌ نَسْتَأْنِفُهُ ؟ قَالَ بَلْ شَيْءٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالُوا فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ ؟ قَالَ كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ جَالِسًا وَفِي يَدِهِ عُودٌ يَنْكُتُ بِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا قَدْ عُلِمَ مَنْزِلَتُهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نَتَّكِلُ وَلَا نَعْمَلُ ؟ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى } إِلَى قَوْلِهِ { وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى }

I heard my father say that his father heard Abu Bakr saying: I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : O Messenger of Allah, are we striving for something that has already been decided or is it something to be decided as events unfold? He said: ʿRather it is for something that has already been decided.ʿ I said: So why should we strive, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “Each person will be enabled to do that for which he has been created.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 19)

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ؓ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَمْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ مُؤْتَنَفٍ؟ قَالَ بَلْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

[Machine] "He asked the Prophet ﷺ whether he should work on an ongoing project or one that has already been completed. The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Rather, work on something that has already been completed.' He then asked, 'In that case, what should I work on?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'Engage in work that is suitable and easy for what it has been created for.'"

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَعْمَلُ فِي أَمْرٍ مُسْتَأْنَفٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ فِي أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I perform a task that is new or a task that has already been completed?" He replied, "No, rather perform a task that has already been completed." The man asked, "Then what should I do?" He said, "Do what is easy for you, for everyone is made for a specific purpose."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ فِي أَمْرٍ مُسْتَأْنَفٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ فِي أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, do we work for a task that has been completed or for a task that we still need to accomplish?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "We work for a task that has been completed." Surqah then asked, "Then what is the purpose of working?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ answered, "Every worker is facilitated (by Allah)."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ أَمْ لِأَمْرٍ نَأْتَنِفُهُ؟ فَقَالَ «لِأَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» فَقَالَ سُرَاقَةُ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ إِذَنْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ عَامِلٍ مُيَسَّرٌ»

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we continue doing a task after we have completed it, or should we start a new task?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, rather focus on a task that has been completed." He then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about the task?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Everyone will find their task made easy for them." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, now is the time for seriousness, now is the time for seriousness."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ شَيْئًا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَمْ نَسْتَأْنِفُ الْعَمَلَ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ لِعَمَلٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لَهُ عَمَلُهُ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الْآنَ الْجَدُّ الْآنَ الْجَدُّ

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, will the people of Paradise know the people of Hell?" He said, "Yes." He asked, "So what will the workers do then?" He said, "Each will be facilitated for what he was created for."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ إِذًا؟ قَالَ «فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لَمَّا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, will the people of Paradise know who the people of Hell are?" He said, "Yes." He said, "So what will the workers do?" He said, "They will work, and each one will be made easy for what he was created for."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, will the people of paradise know the people of hell?" He (the Prophet) said, "Yes." The man then asked, "In what will the workers be working?" He replied, "Everyone will be made easy for what he was created for."

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ «فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was asked : Is it known who are those who will go to paradise and those who will go to hell? He said : Yes. He asked : Then what is the good of doing anything by those who act? He replied : Everyone is helped to do for which he has been created. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4709)

سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعُلِمَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ «كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, will the people of Paradise know the people of the Fire?" He said, "Yes." He said, "So how will they recognize them?" He said, "By their actions. Every person will be facilitated for what he was created for."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was asked, "Do you recognize the people of Paradise from the people of Hell?" He replied, "Yes." Then it was asked to him, "So what do the workers do?" He said, "Everyone works for what they were created for or for what is made easy for them."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سُئِلَ فَقِيلَ أَعُرِفَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَفِيمَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ؟ قَالَ «كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ أَوْ لِمَا يُسِّرَ لَهُ»
