حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمٌ , وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ هَيْثَمٍ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ , عَنْ يُونُسَ , عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ , عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ , قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ , أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ , أَمْ أَمْرٌ نَسْتَأْنِفُهُ ؟ قَالَ : " بَلْ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ " , قَالُوا : فَكَيْفَ بِالْعَمَلِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُهَيَّأٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that a companion asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah! Tell us, the deeds that we do, have they already been written and finished, or does our action come first?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "They have already been written and finished." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! Then what is the benefit of action?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "For every person, only those deeds are made easy for which he was created."
