Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Haydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! We are people who ask one another for our wealth." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man may ask when a calamity befalls him, or when a liability (such as compensation or blood-money arising from a fight or killing) falls on him, so that he may set his affair right by it. When he has reached (what he needs), or come close to it, he should then refrain (from asking)."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
