English translation

4696. It was narrated from Uthmān bin Ghiyāth: “Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated to me, from Yaḥyā bin Ya'mar and Ḥumaid bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān, who said: “We met 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar and we mentioned Al-Qadar to him and what they were saying about it...” He mentioned a similar report and added: “A man from Muzainah or Juhainah questioned him. So he said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, for what do we do works? Is it for something that has passed and been decided, or is it for something that happens now (without predestination)?’ He said: ‘For something that has passed and been decided.’ The man, or one of the people, said: ‘So why should we do works?’ He said: ‘The inhabitants of Paradise will be facilitated to do the deeds of the inhabitants of Paradise, and the inhabitants of the Fire will be facilitated to do the deeds of the inhabitants of Hell.’” (Sahih)

4696 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَا: لَقِيَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ الْقَدَرَ وَمَا يَقُولُونَ فِيهِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ زَادَ قَالَ: وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ أَوْ جُهَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِيمَا نَعْمَلُ أَفِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ خَلَا أَوْ مَضَى أَوْ فِي شَيْءٍ يُسْتَأْنَفُ الْآنَ؟ قَالَ: «فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ خَلَا وَمَضَى» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ النَّارِ يُيَسَّرُونَ لِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ»
