Hadith 4063

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ كَعْبًا، كَانَ يَقُولُ: «رِزْقُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فِي أَسِنَّةِ رِمَاحِهَا، وَعِنْدَ أَزِجَّتِهَا مَا لَمْ يَزْرَعُوا، فَإِذَا زَرَعُوا كَانُوا كَالنَّاسِ، وَلَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُعْطِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ حَتَّى يُعْطِيَهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَشْيِ الدَّوَابِّ»
It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Yazid bin Jabir, may Allah have mercy on him, that Sayyiduna Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him, used to say: "The sustenance of this Ummah is at the tips of their spears and with their bows as long as they do not engage in agriculture. When they engage in agriculture, they will become like common people, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will continue to grant them until He gives them the best of livestock to ride."
