Musnad Humaydi

Benefit:
In this hadith, the generosity of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is mentioned, that he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would not send back any person who asked him empty-handed.

Hadith Commentary:
This was the extent of your (the Prophet’s) magnanimity; in fact, if you had it (the item requested), you would give it at that very moment, otherwise you would promise the person that soon you would give it to him—sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And it does not necessarily follow from this that you would never offer an excuse, as is found in His statement, the Exalted: “Say: I do not find anything upon which to mount you” ().
That is, it does not follow from this that in the case of not having something, you would not even offer an excuse, as in the aforementioned verse where, on one occasion, you said to some people that at that moment you did not have an animal for them to ride.

Hadith Commentary:
Whenever worldly wealth or possessions were requested from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), he did not refuse to give. If he did not have anything, he would remain silent. If there was hope of obtaining it soon or later, he would intend to give it.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Spending on one’s family and providing for their sustenance and needs is a personal responsibility of a person and is obligatory (fard). And it is evident that fulfilling an obligation (fard) is a person’s foremost responsibility, and its reward is also the greatest. Because other deeds are not obligatory (fard ‘ayn) at every occasion or at all times, therefore their rank comes afterwards. After fulfilling the obligatory acts, the turn comes for the voluntary (nafl) acts.
