It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting waiting for a funeral. (In his blessed hand was a stick) with which he was scratching the ground. After a short while, he raised his head and said: "The abode of every one of you—whether Paradise or Hell—is present and determined in Allah's knowledge." The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not rely on this? He said: "Continue to do deeds, for each person will find it easy to do the deeds for which he was created." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse of the Qur'an: «﴿فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى، وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى، فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى﴾ [الليل: 5-7] » "So as for he who gives and fears Allah and believes in the best [reward] , We will ease him toward ease."
