As-salaamu Alaikum,

Does anyone know the authenticity of the following saying, which has been attributed to Imam Shafi (raheemahullah)?

          "It's only a fool who turns his back on Allah when his rizq is about to come."

I first heard this about 3 years ago, but I have never seen it in print and would like to verify its authenticity.

Ibn Mas?ood (radiyallaahu ?anhu) said, ?Indeed Allaah, from His Justice and Fairness, made delight and tranquility the fits of yaqeen (certainty) and ridaa (pleasure). And He made grief, anxiety and worry the result of doubt and resentment.?  Related by Ibn Abee Dunyaa in Kitaabur-Ridaa (no. 94) and also al-Bayhaqee in Shu?abul-Eemaan (no. 205).
