Musnad AhmedIt was narrated that Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman as-Sulami said:
"Ali (رضي الله عنه) took me by the hand and we set out walking until we sat down on the banks of the Euphrates "Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no living soul but Allah has already decreed whether it is doomed or blessed." A man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why should we strive? He said: "Strive, for each person will be helped to do that for which he was created.” Then he recited this verse: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him. And believes in Al-Husna, We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness). But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, and belies Al-Husna, We will make smooth for him the path for evil" [Al-Lail 92:5–10].
Al-Husna: The Best (i.e. either La ilaha illAllah : none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) or a reward from Allah (i.e. Allah will compensate him for what he will spend in Allah"s way or bless him with Paradise) [Footnote from Hilali/Khan Translation of the Meanings]
