Mujahid narrated: A man came to Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked them both for something. They both said: "Asking is permissible only in three situations: a calamity that causes ruin, a payment one has taken on that weighs one down, or a debt that overburdens one." Then they both gave him something. Then the man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) simply gave him something without asking him anything. The man said to him: "I went to two of my cousins, and they questioned me, but you did not question me." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The sons of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were fed knowledge like morsels."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Yunus bin Khabbab, and he is da'if (weak).
