عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَهْلُهُ ائْتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْأَلْهُ فَأَتَاهُ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَنِ اسْتَعَفَّ أَعَفَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَنَا فَوَجَدْنَا لَهُ أَعْطَيْنَاهُ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that an Ansari man had a need. His family said to him: Go to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him. So he went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was addressing (the people) and saying: Whoever adopts chastity, Allah will make him chaste, and whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient, and whoever asks from us and we have something, we will give it to him. Hearing this hadith, the man left and did not ask for anything.
