Kitaab At-Tawheed, Chapter: 6 - Part 2
It is reported on the authority of `Abdullah Ibn `Ukaim (ra) in a marfoo' form: "Whoever wore something (around his neck) will be put in its charge." (Narrated by Ahmad and At-Tirmizi)
`Abdullah Ibn `Ukaim (radiAllahuanhu) tells us that the Prophet informed him that whoever needed something, he should entrust his affair to Allah , and that whoever depended upon Allah alone to fulfill his needs, Allah will relieve his distress and make his affairs easy, but whoever depended upon something other than Allah and entrusted his affairs to it, will be left in its charge, i.e. he will have no help from Allah because it is only by the Hand of Allah that goodness is achieved, and none but He can benefit.
