"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, is one's deed in that which has already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, or is it in the future?' He said: 'No, it is in that which he already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, and each person is facilitated for what he has been created.'"  

ابن ماجة:٩١حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْخَفَّافُ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْعَمَلُ فِيمَا جَفَّ بِهِ الْقَلَمُ وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ مُسْتَقْبَلٍ قَالَ بَلْ فِيمَا جَفَّ بِهِ الْقَلَمُ وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ وَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ

[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)."
