Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said: O Messenger of Allah! Do we act according to something that has already been settled, or is it something newly arising? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is something that has already been settled. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Then why should deeds be done? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For each one, that for which he was created is made easy."
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it; he said: It is reported from Attaf bin Khalid, who said: Talhah bin Abdullah narrated this hadith to me. The narrator Attaf was declared thiqah (trustworthy) by Yahya bin Ma'in and a group, and there is weakness in him; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except that among Ahmad's narrators there is an unnamed (mubham) person.
