The Holy Prophet (sws) said, “On the night of Miraj Allah Almighty
complained to me about my nation. One of His objections was this: ‘I
do not ask of them to perform anything ahead of time, all I ask is for
them to do what they should in its own time. But, by contrast, they
ask of Me to provide them ahead of time. While I have provided them
perfectly for so many years, they are not satisfied, even though they
do not know whether their lives will last long enough to use up what
they have been given. Even so, their greed for the things of this
world is ever increasing, and they complain of not having the
wherewithal of a livelihood, always asking for more.’

‘Do they not regard the birds in the skyways? Every morning the birds
of the fields leave their nests with empty crops to return in the
evenings having eaten their fill, though the whole world be covered in
snow. Does not your nation take a lesson from this? While the whole
world is covered in snow and not a speck of earth is to be seen, He
who provides the birds with their shares, will He not provide them
also with their own portions? Why does your nation not place their
reliance on Him who has forever guaranteed their subsistence?’

“The second complaint is this: ‘I do not give their provisions to any
other than them; in spite of this, they perform actions for the sake
of other than Me.’

“My third complaint is this: ‘While they are consuming the portions
that I have provided for them, their gratitude goes out to someone
else. They will say, for instance, ‘In my vineyard I had a harvest
such an amount and from my fields such an amount, from my trade so
much.’ But was it not I who caused the vines to grow in his vineyard
and the crops in his field, and who gave him success in this commerce?
Why do they remember Me not and mention not My Name when they speak of
the yields of their vineyards and fields, and the profits of their
trade? Wherefrom is this heedlessness; do they feel no shame?’
