It is narrated about Sayyiduna Dhu al-Lihyah al-Kilabi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: O Messenger of Allah! Do we act on the basis of a matter newly arising, or is it a matter that has already been settled? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No! Rather, it is a matter that has already been settled. He said: Then why should we act? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do deeds! For each person, that for which he was created is made easy.
Ibn Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
