[Machine] Surahqa bin Malik bin Ju'shum came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about our deeds. Are they only for this year or for eternity?" He replied, "No, they are for eternity." Surahqa then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about our works as if we were created only for a fixed time, and our fates were predetermined, or as if we had some control over them?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, it is something for which the book (of deeds) is fixed, and the fate is determined." Surahqa then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, then what is the use of actions?" He replied, "Engage in them, for everyone is facilitated for what he has been created."  

قَدِمَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ عُمْرَتِنَا هَذِهِ لِعَامِنَا هَذَا أَمْ لِلْأَبَدِ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ أَعْمَالِنَا كَأَنَّمَا خُلِقْنَا السَّاعَةَ شَيْءٌ ثَبَتَ بِهِ الْكِتَابُ وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ؟ أَوْ شَيْءٌ نَسْتَأْنِفُهُ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ شَيْءٌ ثَبَتَ بِهِ الْكِتَابُ وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ»
