From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1327 — two men came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَسَأَلَاهُ فِي ثَمَنِ بَعِيرٍ ، فَأَعَانَهُمَا بِدِينَارَيْنِ ، فَخَرَجَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَلَقِيَهُمَا عُمَرُ ، فَقَالَا وَأَثْنَيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَشَكَرَا مَا صَنَعَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا قَالَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « لَكِنْ فُلَانٌ أَعْطَيْتُهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْعَشَرَةِ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ ذَلِكَ . إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَيَنْطَلِقُ بِمَسْأَلَتِهِ مُتَأَبِّطَهَا ، وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا نَارٌ » . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : تُعْطِينَا مَا هُوَ نَارٌ ؟ قَالَ : « يَأْبَوْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلُونِي ، وَيَأْبَى اللهُ لِيَ الْبُخْلَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him for help towards the price of a camel, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) helped them with two dinars. When they came out from him (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met them on the way. The two of them praised the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with good words and expressed their gratitude for his (peace and blessings be upon him) kindness. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him (peace and blessings be upon him) of what they had said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "But so-and-so, I gave him (wealth) between ten and a hundred, yet he said nothing of the sort. Indeed, one of them asks me and goes off with what he asked for (the gift) tucked under his arm, though it is nothing but fire." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Do you give us something that is fire? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will not stop asking me, and Allah Almighty does not approve of miserliness for me."
