حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَوَکِيعٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَنْکُتُ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِذْ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَی السَّمَائِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْکُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا قَدْ عُلِمَ وَقَالَ وَکِيعٌ إِلَّا قَدْ کُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنْ النَّارِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا أَفَلَا نَتَّکِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا اعْمَلُوا فَکُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ لِمَا خُلِقَ لَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2136
Ali narrated: We were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he was scraping the ground, when he raised his head to the heavens, then said: 'There is not one of you but (his place) is known' – Waki said: 'His place has been decreed (be it) in the Fire, and (or) his place in Paradise.' They said: 'Shall we not rely upon this O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'No. Work, for everyone is facilitated for what he was created.'”(Sahih)
