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.
