It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Ju'sham (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! According to what are we acting? Is it according to that (decree) which has already been decided, or according to that which we do anew?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "According to that which has already been decided." He said: "Then what is the point of action?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Act, for everyone is facilitated for that for which he was created."
