حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ ، لَرُزِقْتُمْ كَمَا تُرْزَقُ الطَّيْرُ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، وَأَبُو تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيُّ اسْمُهُ : عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ .
´'Umar bin Al-Khattab narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "If you were to rely upon Allah with the required reliance, then He would provide for you just as a bird is provided for, it goes out in the morning empty, and returns full."

It is understood that a believer’s life should be free from anxiety over sustenance and livelihood, and his heart should be like that of birds, who do not store anything for themselves but rather go out every morning in search of sustenance and return in the evening with their stomachs full.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The reliance (tawakkul) of birds is that they do not store up provisions; rather, they are certain that just as Allah Ta’ala has provided them sustenance today, He will provide it tomorrow as well.
➋ Generally, a person hesitates to spend in the way of Allah because he fears poverty and deprivation regarding the future. He should have certainty that just as Allah has provided him sustenance now, He will provide it tomorrow as well.
➌ Tawakkul (reliance upon Allah) does not mean that lawful means should not be adopted. Birds also leave their nests and search for and eat their sustenance. In the same way, a person should, while avoiding greed, obtain sustenance through lawful means.
