Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28293

Bundar told us, he said, Abd al-Rahman bin Mahdi told us, he said, Shu`bah told us, on the authority of Asim bin Ubaid Allah, he said, I heard Salem bin Abdullah, narrating on the authority of his father, he said: Omar said, O Messenger of God, have you seen what we are doing about something innovative or a beginning or something that has already been completed? From him, he said: “As we have finished, O Ibn Al-Khattab, and every person is generous, as for whoever is among the people of happiness, he works for happiness. Whoever is among the people of misery, he works for the sake of misery.” Abu Issa said, and in the chapter on the authority of Ali, Hudhayfah bin Asid and Anas. And Imran bin Husayn. This is a good and authentic hadith.
