“Umar Ibn Al-Khattab was in the presence of some Yemeni people (who did not want to work), and he asked:

“Who are you?”

They said: “We are the mutawakilun”, (those who put their trust in Allah)

so Umar said: “No, you are the muta’akilun! (those who expect others to feed them)! And as for the mutawakil, he first throws the seeds into the earth and then depends on Allah (to provide for him)”.

(Al-Irshad Ila Sahih al-I`tiqaad, 78)
