What is the way to reconcile the superiority of earning a livelihood with seeking knowledge and sitting for worship?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in *Riyad al-Salihin* a hadith from Anas, who said: A man used to sit with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while the other would go out to work. The worker came to complain about his brother to the Prophet, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perhaps you are provided for because of him." How do we reconcile this with the hadith mentioned in the lesson, where he said to him: "Your brother is better than you"?

Answer:
This is understood to mean that this one who is sitting is doing so for a reason, unable to earn a livelihood, and that his brother is taking care of him. However, if he is not sitting for a reason, there is no doubt that seeking his provision is better than sitting for worship. Yes.
