Sahih Muslim Book - 46, Hadith - 6731

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ: حَدَّثَنَا ، جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ: كُنَّا فِي جَِنَازَةٍ فِي بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ ، فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَعَدَ وَقَعَدْنَا حَوْلَهُ ، وَمَعَهُ مِخْصَرَةٌ فَنَكَّسَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِمِخْصَرَتِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ، مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ ، إِلاَّ وَقَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ مَكَانَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ ، وَإِلاَّ وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ شَقِيَّةً ، أَوْ سَعِيدَةً ، قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجَلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَفَلاَ نَمْكُثُ عَلَى كِتَابِنَا ، وَنَدَعُ الْعَمَلَ ؟ فَقَالَ : مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ ، فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ ، فَسَيَصِيرُ إِلَى عَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ، أَمَّا أَهْلُ السَّعَادَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشَّقَاوَةِ فَيُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى ، وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى ، فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى ، وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى}.

It was narrated that 'Ali said: "We were at a funeral in Baqi' Al-Gharqad, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came to us. He sat down and we sat down around him. He had a stick, and he looked down at the ground, and started to scratch the ground with the stick, then he said: 'There is no one among you, no living soul, but Allah has decreed his place in Paradise or the Fire, and it has been decreed whether he is miserable or happy.' A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shouldn't we rely on our destiny and stop striving?' He said: 'Whoever is one of the happy, he will find himself doing the deeds of the happy, and whoever is one of the miserable, he will find himself doing the deeds of them miserable.' He (s.a.w) said: 'Do good deeds, for everyone is helped (to do their deeds). The happy are helped to do the deeds of the happy, and the miserable are helped to do the deeds of the miserable.' Then he recited: 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him, and believes in Al-Husna; We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self sufficient and belies Al-Husna, We will make smooth for him the path for evil."'
