2144. It was narrated from Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "O people, fear Allâh and be moderate in seeking a living, for no soul will die until it has received all its provision, even if it is slow in coming. So fear Allâh and be moderate in seeking provision; take that which is permissible and leave that which is forbidden." (Sahih)
2144 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ، فَإِنَّ نَفْسًا لَنْ تَمُوتَ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ رِزْقَهَا وَإِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنْهَا، فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ، خُذُوا مَا حَلَّ، وَدَعُوا مَا حَرُمَ»

a. A person caring for a lawful earning is never deprived of livelihood. b. Putting trust in Allâh, unlawful livelihood must be avoided. c. As the term of worldly life is appointed, which will not be increased or decreased; likewise livelihood is also fixed and specified. But the human earns reward or chastisement for its right or wrong strife.
