قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ٣٦

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 34:36
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
فأجابهم اللّه تعالى, بأن بسط الرزق وتضييقه, ليس دليلا على ما زعمتم، فإن الرزق تحت مشيئة اللّه, إن شاء بسطه لعبده, وإن شاء ضيقه.
