(Second chain of narration) Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were with a funeral at Baqi’ al-Gharqad, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and sat down, and we also sat around him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had a stick with him, and he was scratching the ground with it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his gaze and said:“The abode of each one of you has been written, whether in Paradise or in Hell, and it has also been written whether he is fortunate or unfortunate.”The people said:“Should we not rely on what has been written for us and stop acting? For whoever is among the fortunate will reach his fortune, and whoever is among the unfortunate will reach his misfortune.”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Act, for everyone is facilitated for that for which he was created. As for the one who is among the unfortunate, the deeds of the unfortunate are made easy for him, and as for the one who is among the fortunate, the deeds of the fortunate are made easy for him.”Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses: «فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ۝ وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ۝ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ۝ وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ۝ وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ۝ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ» As for him who gives (in the way of Allah) and fears (his Lord), and affirms the good, We will facilitate for him the path of ease. But as for him who is miserly and considers himself self-sufficient, and denies the good, We will facilitate for him the path of hardship. (Surah Al-Lail: 5-10)
