Say ‘My Lord extends provision He makes it abundant for whomever He will of His servants as a test and restricts it for him after having extended it — or He restricts it for him whom He will to try and whatever thing you may expend for the cause of good He will replace it. And He is the best of providers’. It is said that every man ‘provides for’ his dependants yarzuqu ‘ā’ilatahu meaning that he does so from the provision given to him by God.
