Musnad Ahmad 373 (Book 2, Hadith 275) #34050
Trusting in Allah's Provision

SUMMARY: Trust in Allah and He will provide for you as He provides for the birds.

'Abdullah bin Hubairah said: I heard Abu Tameem al-Jaishani say: I heard 'Umar bin al Khattab (رضي الله عنه) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "If you really put your trust in Allah, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds. Do you not see that they go out with empty stomachs and come back with full stomachs?"
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَمَا يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّهَا تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Put your trust in Allah
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about trusting in Allah's provision. It tells us that if we put our trust in Him, He will provide for us just like how He provides for the birds. The birds go out with empty stomachs and come back with full stomachs because they trust that Allah will provide them with food. Similarly, if we put our trust in Him and do not worry too much about worldly matters such as money or food, then He will take care of us too. We should remember this hadith when times are tough and have faith that everything happens according to His plan.
