مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1110
It was narrated that 'Ali (RA) said: We were sitting with the Prophet (PBUH) at a funeral i [the narrator] think he said in Baqee' al-Gharqad and he struck the ground {with a stick), then he lifted his head and said: "There is no one among you but Allah has decreed his place in Paradise or his place in Hell." We said: O Messenger of Allah, shouldn't we rely on that? He said: "No; rather strive, for each will be enabled [to do the appropriate deeds]." 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 (See the footnote of the Verse No. 6). We will make smooth for him the path for evil" [al-Lail 92:5-10],
