Musnad Ahmad 16630

Translation

✧ "O Messenger of Allah, do we act in a matter newly initiated or in a matter already decreed?" He replied: "No, rather in a matter already decreed." He asked: "Then what is the point of acting?" He said: "Act, for everyone is facilitated toward what he was created for."
