Musnad Abi Ya'la 582 — he related: We were attending a funeral
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا فِي جِنَازَةٍ فِي بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ، وَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَعَدَ وَقَعَدْنَا حَوْلَهُ، وَمَعَهُ مِخْصَرَةٌ فَنَكَّسَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِمِخْصَرَتِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ، مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ مَكَانَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَكَانَهَا مِنَ النَّارِ، وَإِلَّا قَدْ كُتِبَتْ شَقِيَّةً أَوْ سَعِيدَةً»، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَمْكُثُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ؟ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ؟، فَقَالَ: «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ، أَمَّا أَهْلُ السَّعَادَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشِّقْوَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشِّقْوَةِ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى} [الليل: 6]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he related: We were attending a funeral in Baqi' al-Gharqad when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and sat down, and we sat around him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had a small stick with him; he (peace and blessings be upon him) lowered his head and began scratching the ground with that stick. Then he said: "There is none among you, nor any soul that has been born, except that Allah Almighty has written its place in Paradise and its place in Hell, and it has also been written whether it is wretched or blessed." Abu Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: A man said: O Messenger of Allah, should we not rely on what has been written for us and leave off doing deeds? For whoever is among the blessed will incline to the deeds of the blessed, and whoever is among the wretched will incline to the deeds of the wretched? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep doing deeds, for each one is facilitated; as for those who are blessed, the deeds of the blessed are made easy for them, and as for those who are wretched, the deeds of the wretched are made easy for them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses: "As for he who gives (in the way of Allah) and fears (Allah), and affirms the best (reward), We will ease him towards ease. But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need, and denies the best (reward), We will ease him towards difficulty."
