Real Men Work - Raha Batts

A young man came to a father, to ask for his daughters hand in marriage.
  
Her father asked: "What do you do?"  

The young man responded: "I am a student of knowledge." 

The father once again asked, while clarifying his questions: "I didn't ask you about that, I asked you, what do you do for a living?"

If you want the hand of my daughter, in marriage, you need an income to be able to support yourself and her.  

Do not come to me and tell me that Allah will provide.   We both are aware of the fact, that ultimately, Allah is the one that provides, but you have to use the means in order to be given that provision.

Listen to some of the modes of employment our Salaf had whilst still being "students of knowledge".  May Allah have mercy upon them all, Aameen.
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
