Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعَهُ عُودٌ يَنْكُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ قَدْ كُتِبَ مَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَوْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَلاَ نَتَّكِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ اعْمَلُوا فَكُلٌّ مُيَسَّرٌ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ‏‏{‏فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى‏}‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏

Translation

Abdan narrated to us, from Abu Hamzah, from al-A'mash, from Sa'd ibn Ubaydah, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, from Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: We were sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while he had a stick with which he was scratching the ground. He said: ‘There is none of you whose place in the Fire or in Paradise has not already been written.’ A man among the people said, ‘Messenger of Allah, should we not rely on that?’ He replied: ‘No. Act, for each person will find it made easy for him.’ Then he recited the verse: As for the one who gives and is mindful of Allah, and the rest of the verse.
