حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، (٢) سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ، أَمْرٌ مُبْتَدَعٌ - أَوْ مُبْتَدَأٌ - أَوْ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ: " أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ، فَاعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَإِنَّ كُلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ، وَمَنْ (٣) 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 (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, for whoever has been created for a certain purpose, its means are provided for him and that action is made easy for him. Thus, if he is among the people of happiness, he does the deeds of the happy, and if he is among the wretched, he does the deeds of the wretched."
