No One Is Independent Of Allaah’s Mercy

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Allaah تعالى mentioned that Moosa عليه السلام supplicated, saying:

فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

{(Moosa عليه السلام) said: “My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!}
📚 [Surah al-Qasas (28): 24]

Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said: “Moosa عليه السللام said: {“My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me”}, while he (Moosa) was amongst the most honored of creations to Allaah, (yet he was tested), and he was in need of half a date, and he was afflicted so much so that his stomach stuck to his back from extreme hunger.”
📚 [Musannaf Ibn Abee Shaibah (37017) and its chain is authentic]

Abu Haazim said: “Moosa عليه السلام said this because he was hungry, afraid, and felt unsafe. So he asked his Lord, and did not ask the people. The shepherds did not understand, but the two maidservants did, and they narrated the incident to their father.”
📚 [Musnad al-Daarimee (1/504)]

All of Allaah’s creations depend on His mercy and cannot exist without His provision. When Allaah grants someone sufficiency, He has fully cared for them. If He bestows abundant provision, it is their duty to thank Allaah.
