Musnad Abi Ya'la 375 — he said: We attended a funeral
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ قَعَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَعَدْنَا مَعَهُ ، فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَنَكَتَ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ، مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ إِلَّا عَلِمَ اللهُ مَكَانَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَمَكَانَهَا مِنَ النَّارِ ، وَشَقِيَّةً أَوْ سَعِيدَةً ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ ، قَالَ : أَفَلَا نَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ وَنُقْبِلُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا ، فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنَّا مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ يُسِّرُ لِعَمَلِهَا ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّقْوَةِ صَارَ إِلَى الشِّقْوَةِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : بَلِ اعْمَلُوا ، فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ، فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ يُسِّرَ لِعَمَلِهَا ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّقْوَةِ يُسِّرَ لِعَمَلِهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We attended a funeral with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached Baqi' al-Gharqad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down and we sat with him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) took a stick and began to scratch the ground with it, then he raised his blessed head and said: "For every single one of you, and for every soul that is born, its abode in Paradise or in Hell, and whether it is wretched or blessed, is within the knowledge of Allah (and has already been written)." At this a man from the gathering said: (O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him),) should we not then give up doing deeds and rely on our decree? For whoever among us is of the people of blessedness will find ease only towards the deeds of blessedness, and whoever is of the people of wretchedness will go only towards wretchedness. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather, keep doing deeds, for to each one is made easy the path (for which he was created). Whoever is of the people of blessedness, the path of the deeds of blessedness will be made easy for him, and whoever is of the people of wretchedness, the path of the deeds of wretchedness will be made easy for him."
