It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not be hasty in the matter of provision (that is, do not feel that it is coming late), for no servant will ever die until he has obtained even the last of the provision decreed for him. So adopt a fine and graceful manner in seeking provision; that is, take what is lawful and leave what is unlawful." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it, and it has a corroborating report from Sayyiduna Jabir that is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim.
