(3). 3111. Ibn 'Umar narrated that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "When this Āyah was revealed: Some among them will be wretched and (others) blessed.[1] I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'O Prophet of Allāh! Based upon what are we then working; something that has already finished, or something that has not yet happened?' He said: 'Rather something that has happened, and the Pens have already passed over it O 'Umar! But for everyone, what he has been created for is made easy.'"[2] (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route, we do not know of it except as a narration of 'Abdul-Malik bin 'Amr.

Commentary
What type of deeds a person will perform in this world; it is already in the all-encompassing Knowledge of Allāh. He is well acquainted of the deeds a person will do in his life and he performs the same deeds in his life; Allāh has already written it, and Allāh's Knowledge regarding this is never incompetent. Therefore, it is impossible that a person will do what is different to what has been written; so he does what is written.
