حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ، ، فِيهِ أَفِي أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَوْ مُبْتَدَإٍ أَوْ مُبْتَدَعٍ؟ قَالَ: " فِيمَا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَاعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَإِنَّ كُلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ، أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاءِ " (١)،

English translation

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! The deeds that we do, have they already been written or do our actions come first?" He replied, "No! Rather, they have already been written. Therefore, O Ibn Khattab! Continue to act, because for every person, the means for which he was created are provided, and that deed is made easy for him. Thus, if he is among the people of happiness, he does the deeds of the happy ones, and if he is among the people of wretchedness, he does the deeds of the wretched ones."
