English translation

[6735] 8 - (2648) It was narrated that Jābir said: "Surāqah bin Mālik bin Ju'asham said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, explain our religion to us as if we had been created just now. What about the deeds that we do day-to-day? Are they because the pens have dried and they are happening as they have already been decreed, or what we are to do?' He (ﷺ) said: 'No, it is because the pens have dried and they are happening as they have already been decreed.' He said: 'Then why should we strive?'" Zuhair (a sub narrator) said: "Then Abū Az-Zubair (a narrator) said something that I did not understand, and I asked: 'What did he say?' He said: 'Strive, for everyone is helped.'"

8 - (2648) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَيِّنْ لَنَا دِينَنَا كَأَنَّا خُلِقْنَا الْآنَ، فِيمَا الْعَمَلُ الْيَوْمَ؟ أَفِيمَا جَفَّتْ بِهِ الْأَقْلَامُ، وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ، أَمْ فِيمَا نَسْتَقْبِلُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، بَلْ فِيمَا جَفَّتْ بِهِ الْأَقْلَامُ وَجَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ» قَالَ: فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ، فَسَأَلْتُ: مَا قَالَ؟ فَقَالَ: «اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ»،
