Hadith 1067

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ جَنَازَةٍ فِي بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ ، فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ ، وَمَعَهُ مِخْصَرَةٌ يَنْكُتُ بِهَا ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ ، إِلَّا قَدْ كُتِبَتْ شَقِيَّةً أَوْ سَعِيدَةً " ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفَلَا نَمْكُثُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ ، فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى السَّعَادَةِ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّقْوَةِ فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى الشِّقْوَةِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَلْ اعْمَلُوا ، فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ، أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّقْوَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُيَسَّرُ لِعَمَلِ الشِّقْوَةِ ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُيَسَّرُ لِعَمَلِ السَّعَادَةِ " ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ : فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى سورة الليل آية 5 - 10 .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day we were with a funeral in Baqi when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and sat down, and we also sat around him. In his blessed hand was a stick with which he was scratching the ground. After a short while, he raised his head and said: "The abode of every one of you—whether in Paradise or in Hell—is already known and determined by Allah, and it has been written whether he is wretched or blessed." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not then rely on what has been written for us and give up action? For whoever is among the blessed will attain bliss, and whoever is among the wretched will attain wretchedness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Continue to act, for everyone will find it easy to do the deeds for which he was created." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse of the Qur'an: «﴿فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى ، وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى ، فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى﴾ [الليل : 5-7]» "As for him who gives, fears Allah, and affirms the best (truth), We will indeed ease him towards the path of ease."
