Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with the intention that I would ask him for something. I heard him saying during the sermon: "Whoever wants to remain independent, Allah will keep him independent; whoever refrains from asking, Allah will protect him from asking; and whoever asks us for something, we will give it to him." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I returned and did not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for anything, and today among the Ansar, I have the most wealth.
