The ruling on supplicating with "Hasbunallah wa ni'ma al-wakil" and "Allah will provide for us from His bounty" when livelihood is constricted

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. I heard a clip circulating on the internet in which its author says, "If your provision is restricted, say
Sufficient for us is Allah; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger; indeed, we are desirous toward Allah,حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِنَّا إِلَى اللَّهِ رَاغِبُونَ
[At-Tawbah 9:59]
." Is such a supplication permissible? And is it permissible to share clips like these?

Answer:
My brother, if your livelihood is constricted, seek it. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) expands livelihood for whom He wills, and taking the means is commanded. So seek livelihood, and before that, fear Allah. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for himوَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
[At-Talaq 65:2-3]
. Yes.
