- ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Numayr al-Hamadhānī told me; my father narrated to us; Hishām ibn Saʿd narrated, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, from ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

He replied, “That statement refers only to making requests of people. Whatever Allah gives you without your asking, that is sustenance Allah has bestowed upon you.”
