عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ سَائِلًا سَأَلَ، قَالَتْ: فَأَمَرْتُ الْخَادِمَ فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُ شَيْئًا (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: فَأَمَرَتْ بَرِيرَةَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهَا، فَتَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ) قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهَا: ((يَا عَائِشَةُ! لَا تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِي اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ))
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a beggar came and asked her (for something). She told her servant: Give him something. So the servant brought something to give him. In another narration, it is mentioned: Sayyida (may Allah be pleased with her) instructed Sayyida Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she should first bring the thing to her so that she could see its quantity. (Upon hearing this) the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Aisha! Do not give by counting and measuring, otherwise Allah the Exalted will also give you by counting and measuring.
