Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-793b
"عَنْ عنبسةَ بنِ عبد الرَّحَمَنِ، عَنْ عَبدِ الله بنِ الحسنِ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ فَاطِمةَ بنتِ الحسنِ، عن أبيها عَنْ جَدِّهَا عَلِىِّ بنِ أَبِى طَالبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ لِعَبد الله بنِ العبَّاسِ: احفَظِ الله تَجِدْهُ أَمَامَكَ، تَعَرَّفْ إِلَى الله فِى الرَّخَاءِ يَعْرِفْكَ فِى الشِّدَّة، وَإِذَا سَأَلْتَ فاسألِ الله، وِإذا اسَتَعَنْتَ فاستعنْ بالله، جَفَّ القَلَمُ بِمَا هُوَ كائِنٌ إِلَى يومِ القيامة، فَلَوْ جَهِدَ الخلائقُ أنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَئٍ لمْ يكتُبِ الله لَكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ، ولَوْ اجتمعُوا أَنْ يَضُرِّوكَ بِشئٍ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ الله عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا، فَإنِ استطعتَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ لله بالرضى فِى اليقين فاعملْ، وإن لم تستطعْ فِإنَّ فِى الصبرِ على ما تكرهُ خيرًا كثيرًا، واعلم أنَّ النصرَ مَعَ الصَّبرِ، وأَنَّ الفرجَ مَعَ الكربِ، وأَنَّ مَعَ العسرِ يُسْرًا".

"From 'Anbasah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from 'Abd Allah ibn al-Hasan, from his mother Fatimah bint al-Hasan, from her father, from her grandfather 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to 'Abd Allah ibn al-'Abbas: Guard Allah and you will find Him before you. Get to know Allah in ease and He will know you in hardship. When you ask, ask Allah; when you seek help, seek help from Allah. The pen has dried with what will occur until the Day of Resurrection. If all creation strove to benefit you with something Allah has not written for you, they would not be able to do it; and if they gathered to harm you with something Allah has not written against you, they would not be able to do it. If you can act for Allah with contentment in certainty, then act; and if you cannot, then in patience over what you dislike there is much good. Know that victory comes with patience, relief comes with distress, and with hardship comes ease."
