حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَعَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ
أَرَأَيْتَ مَا نَعْمَلُ فِيهِ أَقَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ، أَوْ فِي شَيْءٍ مُبْتَدَإٍ، أَوْ أَمْرٍ مُبْتَدَعٍ ؟ قَالَ: فِيمَا قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَلَا نَتَّكِلُ ؟ فَقَالَ: اعْمَلْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ، أَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ فَيَعْمَلُ لِلسَّعَادَةِ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الشَّقَاءِ فَيَعْمَلُ لِلشَّقَاءِ.

✧ Do you think that what we do has already been decreed, or is it something newly initiated, or an innovated matter? He said: It is something already decreed. Umar said: Should we not then rely on that? He said: Act, O son of al-Khattab, for everyone is facilitated. As for the one who is among the people of happiness, he acts for happiness; and as for the people of misery, he acts for misery.
