عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِسْمَةً، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! لَغَيْرُ هَؤُلَاءِ أَحَقُّ مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّهُمْ خَيَّرُونِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَسْأَلُونِي بِالْفُحْشِ أَوْ يُبَخِّلُونِي، فَلَسْتُ بِبَاخِلٍ))
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed something. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Those whom you have given, there are others who were more deserving than them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These people have given me the choice that either they will demand from me in an improper manner or they will call me miserly, whereas I am not miserly.
