Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

How Allah makes one person a means of provision for another

tirmidhi:2345 – Muḥammad b. Bashshār > Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Anas b. Mālik

There were two brothers during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. One of them used to come to the Prophet ﷺ ˹to learn˺, while the other ˹used to˺ work ˹and earn˺. The one who worked complained about his brother to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "Perhaps you are provided for because of him."

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

الترمذي:٢٣٤٥ – حَدَّثَنَا 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، وَالْآخَرُ يَحْتَرِفُ، فَشَكَا الْمُحْتَرِفُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: «لَعَلَّكَ تُرْزَقُ بِهِ».

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

"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.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2345)
