2.49 Having Trust in Allah ﷻ
٢۔٤٩ لو أنكم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير
From Umar ibn al-Khattab: "If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He is due, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds..." This was narrated by Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah, and Ibn Hibban in his Sahih, and by al-Hakim. Tirmidhi said it is Hasan-Sahih.
This hadith has been reported by all of them from the narration of Abdullah b. Hubayra, who heard from Abu Tamim al-Jayshani, who heard Umar b. al-Khattab narrate it from the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Tamim and Abdullah b. Hubayra were both acknowledged by Muslim, and have been regarded as trustworthy by more than one ˹source˺. Abu Tamim was born during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ and migrated to Medina during the time of Umar ᴿᴬ. This hadith was also narrated from Ibn Umar from the Prophet ﷺ, but its chain of transmission includes someone whose status is unknown. This was mentioned by Abu Hatim al-Razi.
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطّابِ: «لَوْ أنَّكُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَما يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ۔۔۔» رَواهُ الإمامُ أحْمَدُ والتِّرْمِذِيُّ والنَّسائِيُّ وابْنُ ماجَهْ وابْنُ حِبّانَ فِي صَحِيحِهِ والحاكِمُ وقالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
هذا الحديث خرَّجه هؤلاء كلهم من رواية عبد الله بن هُبيرة، سمع أبا تميم الجيشاني، سمع عمر بن الخطاب يُحدثه عن النَّبيِّ ﷺ، وأبو تميم وعبد الله بن هبيرة خرَّج لهما مسلم، ووثقهما غيرُ واحد، وأبو تميم ولد في حياة النَّبيِّ ﷺ، وهاجر إلى المدينة في زمن عمر ؓ. وقد رُوي هذا الحديثُ من حديث ابنِ عمر عن النَّبيِّ ﷺ، ولكن في إسناده من لا يُعرف حاله. قاله أبو حاتم الرازي.
