حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: 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 " (١)،

English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Suraqah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! For what purpose is action? Have the pens written it and dried, and has the decree been enforced, or do we make our own destiny?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The pens have written it and dried, and the decree has been enforced." He asked, "Then what is the benefit of action?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Keep doing deeds, for everyone will find it easy to do that for which he was created."
