69 - To have faith and to seek a livelihood

عنْ عمرَ رضي الله عنه، عنْ النّبيِّ ﷺ قال: «لو أنَّكُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ على اللهِ حقَّ توكُّلِه، لرُزِقْتُمْ كما تُرْزَقُ الطَّيْرُ، تَغْدو خِماصًا، وتَرُوحُ بِطانًا»

‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 

1. Were you to place your trust in God as truly as it should be, He would have given you your provisions in the same way as birds are provided with theirs;  2. They begin the day hungry and finish it well fed.
