The Devils Deception by Imam Ibn AL-Jawzi

Chapter Eleven: The Devil's Deception of the $i!fts
another proof of how erroneous they are. Have not you seen how
Allah's Messenger (:i) used to save for his wives one year's worth
of sustenance?161
Section Three:
Criticism of their Understanding of al- Tawakkul
(Reliance on Allah)
Some of them gave away all of their good wealth and then begged
for dirt (people's donations). A person will always be in need of
something, and a wise person prepares for the future. The example
of these people is that of a person who was not thirsty at the start
of his long journey, so he threw away all of the water he had.
Some of them spent all of their wealth and said: I only trust Allah]
This is a sign of a lack of understanding because they thought
tawakkul requires ignoring the means. They did not understand that
tawakkulis to have trust in Allah (the Mighty and the Majestic) in the
heart, not to spend all of your money.
The senior $aflribah and Tribi'in used to gather and save money.
None of them said anything like this.
When Abu Bakr (rarjiyA//rihu 'anhu) became khalifah he was asked
to dedicate his time to leadership, he asked: Then how will I feed my
dependents?
To $i!fts, saying something like this goes against tawakkul, just as
they do with someone who says: This type of food may harm me.
