When you have nothing and no one
Mūsā ﷺ said this alone in Madyan, having fled with nothing, sitting in the shade.
فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ
Rabbi innī limā anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqīr.
So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."
Where this comes from
He had just helped two strangers water their flock, asked nothing of them, and sat down. He does not name what he needs. He only says he is in need of whatever good Allah sends. Within the hour he had work, a home and a family.
