Musnad Ahmad 373
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.
Yahya ibn Ishaq narrated to us; Ibn Lahi‘ah informed us; ‘Abd Allah ibn Hubayrah narrated to us, who said: I heard Abu Tamim al-Jayshani say: I heard ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: ‘If you were to rely upon Allah with true reliance, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds. Do you not see that they leave in the morning hungry and return in the evening full?’
