ذِكْرُ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ قِلَّةِ الِاغْتِرَارِ بِكَثْرَةِ إِتْيَانِهِ الْمَأْمُورَاتِ، وَسَعْيهِ فِي أَنْوَاعِ الطَّاعَاتِ

[Machine] A man said to the Messenger of Allah, "Shall we act according to what has been decreed and rely on it, or should we depend on something we strive for?" He said, "No, rather act according to what has been decreed, for the pens have dried." He said, "Then what is the point of striving?" He said, "Act, for everyone will be facilitated (in their actions)."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ فِيمَا جَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ وَجَفَّ بِهِ الْقَلَمُ أَوْ شَيْءٌ نَأْتَنِفُهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ لِمَا جَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ وَجَفَّ بِهِ الْقَلَمُ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ «اعْمَلْ فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about our umrah this year. Is it for all eternity? He said, 'No, rather it is for all eternity. Umrah is included in Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, tell us about our religion as if we are looking at it. With what the pens have written and the decrees have been established?' He said, 'No, rather it is with what the pens have written and the decrees have been established.' I said, 'So what about actions, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Engage in actions, for everyone will find it easy to do what they have been created for.'"  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ عُمْرَتِنَا هَذِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا؟ أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ دَخَلَتِ الْعُمْرَةُ فِي الْحَجِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ دِينِنَا كَأَنَّمَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ؟ بِمَا جَرَتْ بِهِ الْأَقْلَامُ وَثَبَتَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ؟ أَمْ لِأَمْرٍ نَسْتَأْنِفُهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ مَا جَرَتْ بِهِ الْأَقْلَامُ وَثَبَتَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»
