Question:
In his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Musnad Ahmad 205[lts isnad is qawi] (Darussalam) he asks: Is there a difference between tawakkul and the right of tawakkul?
Answer:
Musnad Ahmad 205[lts isnad is qawi] (Darussalam) Meaning, the birds are full; they have nothing in the place where they take shelter, and they have nothing? They have nothing until they become flying, and Allah made it easy for them because they rely on Allah. The birds have nothing they store, not in their home, not in a warehouse, not in anything. And how many birds, my brothers, live in the air and in the whole universe? Their provision is with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). No bird has ever died of hunger, no. It dies from illness, it dies from an injury, but it does not die of hunger. There is no bird that dies of hunger, except for a bird that is stored and locked up. But if it is released, it does not die of hunger; it seeks provision, and provision is made easy for it in every place. Yes.
In his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
If you were to put your trust in Allah as you should
لو أنكم توكلون على الله حق توكلهAnswer:
If you were to put your trust in Allah as you should, you would be given provision like the birds: they go out hungry in the morning and come back with full bellies in the evening.
لو أنكم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا يعني جائعة وتروح بطانا
