They go out in the morning with empty stomachs and return full.” Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2344 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Tirmidhi | عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرُزِقْتُمْ كَمَا يُرْزَقُ الطَّيْرُ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا 2344 سنن الترمذي كتاب الزهد باب في التوكل على الله 4/166 المحدث الترمذي خلاصة حكم المحدث صحيح في سنن الترمذي |
Notes
Allah ta’ala is the Provider (al-Razzaq) and the creation is merely a means He may use in providing for us, so rely on Him and not the means while utilizing the means.
