[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»  

"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.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 91)   

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَعْمَلُ عَلَى مَا قَدْ جَفَّ بِهِ الْقَلَمُ وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ أَوْ لِأَمْرٍ مُسْتَقْبَلٍ؟ قَالَ «يَا سُرَاقَةُ اعْمَلْ لِمَا جَفَّ بِهِ الْقَلَمُ وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ فَإِنَّ كَلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ»
