- ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; my father narrated to me; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yazīd narrated to us; Ḥaywah narrated to us; Bakr ibn ʿAmr informed me that he heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn Hubayrah say that he heard Abū Tamīm al-Jayshānī say that he heard ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb say that he heard the Prophet of Allah, ﷺ, say:
“If you were to place your trust in Allah as He truly deserves, He would provide for you just as He provides for the birds: they set out in the morning with empty stomachs and return at dusk with their bellies full.”
٩٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي بَكْرُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ هُبَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَمَا يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ؛ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا، وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا»
