EARNINGS ARE NOT THE REAL THING

Sayyiduna Anas رضي الله عنه narrated that there were two brothers in the time of Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم . One of them used to remain with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم (because he had no family of his own and so did not have any responsibility). The other engaged in some occupation (and earned a livelihood for both of them). So, the working brother complained to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم of his brother (that he remained idle while he had to earn for both). So, he said, "Perhaps, you get your provision because of him!" [1]
