definitely get what is in his destiny. Allah Almighty, Who provides sustenance to the insects inside the rocks, will also provide means for my sustenance. The pious people of Allah Almighty, let alone snatching wealth from others, even avoid having Tawakkul upon the other people.      

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Kharraz رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: ‘I reached a jungle but had no provisions with me. When I felt extremely hungry, I saw a town at a distance. I became happy, but then contemplated my state in such a way thinking that I relied and sought tranquillity from other people. Hence, I swore an oath that I will not enter the town until I am picked up and taken there. He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: ‘I dug a hole and sank my body in its sand up to my chest. Half way through the night, I heard a loud voice: ‘O dwellers of the town! A saint of Allah has hidden himself in sand. Go to him.’ People came, took me out of the sand and took me to the town. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 4, p. 33, with slightly amended)

Tawakkul is an excellent thing

Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Salaam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states: ‘Sayyiduna Salman Farsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said to me: ‘Let us promise that whoever amongst us passes away first will relay his state to the other in dream.’

I said: ‘Is this possible?’

He replied: ‘Yes, the soul of a believer remains free. It can go wherever it wants to on the earth.’

After this, Sayyiduna Salman Farsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ passed away. One day, I rested for a little while after having lunch. All of a sudden, Sayyiduna Salman Farsi رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ came in front of me and loudly said اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکُمْ وَرَحْمَۃُ اللہِ وَبَرَکَاتُہ. I replied him by saying وَعَلَیْکُمُ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَۃُ اللّٰہِ وَبَرَکَاتُہ and asked him: ‘What happened to you after your passing, and what rank are you on?’

He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ replied: ‘I am in an extremely good state and advise you to always observe Tawakkul upon Allah Almighty, because Tawakkul is an excellent thing; Tawakkul is an excellent thing; Tawakkul is an excellent thing.’ He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ repeated this statement three times. (Shawahid-un-Nubuwwah, p. 287)
