attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

(The master Abu Sa'id, may Allah be pleased with him, said) It has reached us from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, that he said: "The one who toils for his dependents is like the one who fights in the way of Allah." So if he strives in the affair of his dependents, then he strives in the affair of his dependents and attains good and ample provision, because of His saying, exalted be He: "He will find on the earth many a refuge and abundance."

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 102–104

And whoever sees as though he is in a military campaign and has turned his face away from fighting, then he abandons striving in the affair of his dependents, severs his kinship ties, and corrupts his religion, because of His saying, exalted be He: "So would you perhaps, if you turned away, spread corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship?"

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 102–104

And whoever sees as though he is going to jihad, then he attains victory, merit, fine praise, and elevation, because of His saying, exalted be He: "Allah has preferred those who strive over those who sit, with a great reward."
