عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نَعْمَلُ عَلَى مَا فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَمْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ مُؤْتَنَفٍ ؟ قَالَ : " عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ " ، قَالَ : فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " كُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَقَالَ : عَنْ عَطَّافِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَعَطَّافٌ وَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ مَعِينٍ وَجَمَاعَةٌ ، وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ فِي رِجَالِ أَحْمَدَ رَجُلًا مُبْهَمًا لَمْ يُسَمَّ .
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.

وَعَنْ عُمَرَ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ أَقَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ مُبْتَدَإٍ [ أَوْ أَمْرٍ مُبْتَدَعٍ ] ؟ قَالَ : " فِيمَا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ " ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَلَا نَتَّكِلُ ؟ فَقَالَ : " اعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَيَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَيَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاوَةِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
It is narrated about Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): What is your view regarding the deeds we do: have they already been settled, or are they a matter newly arising? (Here the narrator is in doubt about one word, but the meaning is the same.) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is something that has already been settled. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then should we not rely on that? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O son of al-Khattab! Do deeds! For each one (his particular course) is made easy. If he is among the people of happiness, he will do the deeds of happiness, and if he is among the people of wretchedness, he will do the deeds of wretchedness.
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains Asim bin Ubaydullah, who is da'if (weak).
