Answer

This is the statement of Imam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullah).

He writes: “Free your mind to focus on fulfilling what you have been commanded to do. Do not preoccupy it with things that have already been guaranteed for you. Your sustenance and lifespan go hand in hand and are taken care of. As long as you are alive, your sustenance will reach you…”

التخريج من المصادر العربية

الفوائد لابن القيم: (ص: ٧٩) ط. دار عالم الفوائد
فرغ خاطرك للهم بما أمرت به، ولا تشغله بما ضمن لك، فإن الرزق والأجل قرينان مضمونان، فما دام الأجل باقيا كان الرزق آتيا، وإذا سد عليك بحكمته طريقا من طرقه فتح لك برحمته طريقا أنفع لك منه، فتأمل حال الجنين يأتيه غذاؤه وهو الدم من طريق واحدة وهو السرة فلما خرج من بطن الأم وانقطعت تلك الطريق فتح له طريقين اثنين وأجرى له فيهما رزقا أطيب وألذ من الأول لبنا خالصا سائغا، فإذا تمت مدة الرضاع وانقطعت الطريقان بالفطام فتح طرقا أربعة أكمل منها طعامان وشرابان فالطعامان من الحيوان والنبات والشرابان من المياه والألبان وما يضاف إليهما من المنافع والملاذ، فإذا مات انقطعت عنه هذه الطرق الأربعة لكنه سبحانه فتح له إن كان سعيدا طرقا ثمانية وهي أبواب الجنة الثمانية يدخل من أيها شاء.
