Explaining that whoever relies upon Allah, Allah suffices him and helps him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : When a person relies upon Allah, what happens? Allah suffices him. And read the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. ومن يتوكل على الله فهو حسبه
[At-Talaq 65:3]
“O Allah, make us among those who place their trust in You”
whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him من يتوكل على الله فهو حسبه
[At-Talaq 65:3]
until it came in the hadith:
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 وتروح بطانا
Musnad Ahmad 205[lts isnad is qawi] (Darussalam)
“They go out in the morning, meaning they fly in the early morning, hungry, meaning their bellies are empty with nothing in them, but they are relying upon their Lord, Mighty and Majestic. And everything glorifies the praise of Allah”
Do you not see that Allah is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds ألم تر أن الله يسبح له من في السماوات والأرض والطير
[An-Nur 24:41]
What?
flying in formation صافات
The point is, the birds go out at the start of the day trusting in Allah with empty bellies, then they return, meaning they come back at the end of the day, what? With full bellies. Do they earn a living? Do they sell and buy? I ask you, people, do the birds sell and buy or not? No. But they are relying upon Allah, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, provides for them.
And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register. وما من دابة في الأرض إلا على الله رزقها ويعلم مستقرها ومستودعها كل في كتاب مبين
[Hud 11:6]
Glory be to Allah. So, my brother, do not rely upon anyone other than Allah. Rely upon your Lord, and He will suffice you. Place your trust in Him, for He is sufficient for you.
