باب في الاِسْتِعْفَافِ عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ:
Chapter: On Abstaining from Begging
Hadith 1684
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، حَتَّى إِذَا نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ: "مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ، فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ، يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ، يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ، يُصَبِّرْهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ عَطَاءً هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَأَوْسَعُ مِنْ الصَّبْرِ".
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that some people from the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for something, so he gave it to them. They asked again, and he gave them again, until whatever he had was finished. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever wealth I have, I will not withhold it from you. But whoever refrains from asking, Allah will keep him safe from asking (i.e., he will not feel the need to ask), and whoever seeks to be independent, Allah will make him independent (self-sufficient), and whoever strives to be patient, Allah will grant him patience and steadfastness. And no one has been given a gift better and more abundant than patience (i.e., patience is the best and most abundant gift from Allah)."
