Saying: I have placed my reliance on Allah, then on you

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it better to say, “I place my trust in Allah alone,” or to say, “I place my trust in Allah, and then in you”?
Answer:
What do you mean by “and then in him”? Never say, “I place my trust in a created being.” You say, “I place my trust in Allah, and I entrust you with such-and-such.” You do not say, “I place my trust in Allah, and then in him.” There is no deficiency in placing trust in a created being, as you heard in the explanation.
