2345. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "There were two brothers during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. One of them used to come to the Prophet ﷺ, and the other had some business. The businessman among them complained to the Prophet ﷺ about his brother, so he said: 'Perhaps you are provided for because of him.'"[1] (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
٢٣٤٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ أَخَوَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْآخَرُ يَحْتَرِفُ»، فَشَكَى الْمُحْتَرِفُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: لَعَلَّكَ تُرْزَقُ بِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Hadīth confirms the fact that, if two brothers live together and share their hearth, and if one of them devotes his time learning the tenets of religion and preaching them among the people, while the other engages in earning the bread, the latter should believe that perhaps he owes prosperity in his business to the blessing granted by Allāh for the efforts of his religion-loving brother, and hence any objection to his brother's activities is unjustified.
