حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ، قَال: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِيَدِهِ عُودٌ فَنَكَتَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نَتَّكِلُ؟ قَالَ: لَا، اعْمَلُوا، وَلَا تَتَّكِلُوا، فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى 5 وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى 6 فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى 7 وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى 8 وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى 9 فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى 10 سورة الليل آية 5-10.
It was narrated that 'Ali said: We were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he had a stick in his hand. He scratched in the ground with it, then raised his head and said: 'There is no one among you but his place in Paradise or Hell has already been decreed.' He was asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, should we not then rely upon that?' He said: 'No, strive and do not rely upon that, for it will be made easy for each person to do that for which he was created.' 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 a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient. And denies Al-Husna. We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
