حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَمَا يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّهَا تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 373
'Abdullah bin Hubairah said: I heard Abu Tameem al-Jaishani say: I heard 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "If you really put your trust in Allah, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds. Do you not see that they go out with empty stomachs and come back with full stomachs?"
