" Along with the provision that God gives, He also has provided the means (asbāb) by which one must seek out his provision. One person may be in possession of a meal that is meant for another, who then is invited to the former’s home for that very meal. So a person never loses anything by feeding a guest. It is a provision meant for that guest, which was already decreed by God. "
