The statement in question is not a sound one, for it contains despair of Allah's mercy and a belief in the ability of humans to prevent His sustenance from descending from the heavens. Allah Almighty says: "Whatever mercy Allah grants to people, none can withhold it; and whatever He withholds, none can release it after Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
