How the lion upheld the superiority of exertion

and acquisition to trust in God and resignation.

Yes, he said; (but) if trust in God is the (true) guide,

(yet use of) the means too is the Prophet's rule (Sunna).

The Prophet said with a loud voice, ‘While trusting

in God bind the knee of thy camel.’

Hearken to the signification of ‘The earner (worker) is beloved of God’:

through trusting in God do not become neglectful as to the (ways and) means.
