It was reported by Ibn Abī ʿl-Dunyā in his book “al-Tawakkul” from Muʿāwiyyah b. Qurrah:
وروى ابن أبي الدنيا في كتاب التوكل عن معاوية ابن قرَّة قال:

ʿUmar Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (may Allah be pleased with him) was in the presence of some people from Yemen (who did not want to work),
(( لقي عمر بن الخطاب ناساً من أهل اليمن

And he asked them: “Who are you?”
فقال: مَن أنتم؟

They said: “We are the mutawakkilūn (ie: those who put their trust in Allah).”
قالوا: نحن المتوكِّلون،

So ʿUmar said: “Rather, you are the muttakilūn (those who expect others to feed them)! And as for al-mutawakkil, he first throws the seeds into the earth (ie: as labour) and then depends on Allah the Mighty and Majestic (to provide for him).”
قال: بل أنتم المتَّكلون، إنَّ المتوكِّل الذي يلقي حبَّة في الأرض ويتوكَّل على الله عزَّ وجلَّ)).
