36.33 About Reliance Upon Allah

٣٦۔٣٣ باب فِي التَّوَكُّلِ عَلَى اللَّهِ

God provides for you when you put your trust in Him just like He provides for the early bird

tirmidhi:2344ʿAlī b. Saʿīd al-Kindī > Ibn al-Mubārak > Ḥaywah b. Shurayḥ > Bakr b. ʿAmr > ʿAbdullāh b. Hubayrah > Abū Tamīm al-Jayshānī > ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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."  

This ḥadīth is Hasan-Ṣaḥīḥ and we do not know of it except from this context. Abū Tamīm al-Jayshānī's name is ʿAbdullāh b. Mālik.
الترمذي:٢٣٤٤حَدَّثَنَا 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 ﷺ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرُزِقْتُمْ كَمَا تُرْزَقُ الطَّيْرُ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَأَبُو تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ
tirmidhi:2345Muḥammad b. Bashhār > Abū Dāwud al-Ṭayālisī > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Anas b. Mālik

"There were two brothers during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them used to come to the prophet ﷺ, and the other had some business. The businessman among them complained to the Prophet ﷺ about his brother, so he said:'Perhaps you are provided for because of him.'"  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.
الترمذي:٢٣٤٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كَانَ أَخَوَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَالآخَرُ يَحْتَرِفُ فَشَكَا الْمُحْتَرِفُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ تُرْزَقُ بِهِ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
