حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، وَحَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ (٣) : أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ، أَقَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ، أَوْ فِي شَيْءٍ مُبْتَدَإٍ، أَوْ أَمْرٍ مُبْتَدَعٍ؟ قَالَ: " فِيمَا قَدْ (٤) فُرِغَ مِنْهُ " فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَلا نَتَّكِلُ؟ فَقَالَ: " اعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ، أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَيَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشَّقَاءِ، فَيَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاءِ " (٥) .، ،

English translation
It was narrated from 'Umar that he said to the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ:
What do you think about what we are striving for is it something already decided or something that is evolving now or something new? He said: “It is something already decided,` `Umar said: Then why don't we rely on what is already decided? He said: `Strive, O son of al-Khattab, for everyone will be helped; whoever is one of the people of bliss will strive for that bliss and whoever is one of the people of doom will strive for that doom.”
