حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ أَمْرٌ مُبْتَدَعٌ أَوْ مُبْتَدَأٌ أَوْ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ قَالَ أَمْرٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ فَاعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَإِنَّ كُلًّا مُيَسَّرٌ فَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاءِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5481
Saalim ibn 'Abdullah narrated from his father that 'Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you think we are striving for - is it for something that has already been decreed or something that has yet to be decided? Be said: "For something that has already been decreed. So strive, O son of al-Khattaab, for each one will be helped. The one who is destined to be blessed will do the deeds that lead him to be blessed, and the one who is destined to be doomed will do the deeds that lead him to be doomed.
