Sustenance is Guaranteed

The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Do not preoccupy yourself away from the duties incumbent upon you in your bid to secure that which is guaranteed to you, for indeed neither will you miss out on that which has been apportioned for you, nor will you attain that which has been placed beyond your reach.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Every living thing has been given its own provision.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'This is a crow and this is an eagle, this one a dove and this one an ostrich. He has given each bird an individual name and has guaranteed each one its sustenance.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'His creatures are His dependants, for whom He has guaranteed the means of subsistence, and apportioned provisions.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Go out and seek your livelihood for it is guaranteed to the one who goes in search of it.

Imam al-Aaskari (AS) said, 'Do not let [preoccupation with] a sustenance that is guaranteed avert you from an act that is incumbent.
