وعن أبي سعيد سعد بن مالك بن سنان الخدري رضي الله عنهما
«أن ناساً من الأنصار سألوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأعطاهم، ثم سألوه فأعطاهم، حتى نفد ما عنده، فقال لهم حين أنفق كل شيء بيده: «ما يكن عندي من خير فلن أدخره عنكم، ومن يستعفف يعفه الله، ومن يستغن يغنه الله، ومن يتصبر يصبره الله. وما أعطي أحد عطاءً خيراً وأوسع من الصبر»
Certain people of the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he gave them; then they again asked him and he gave them until all what he possessed was exhausted.
Then the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whatever wealth I have, I will not withhold from you. Whosoever would be chaste and modest; Allah will keep him chaste and modest and whosoever would seek self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient; and whosoever would be patient, Allah will give him patience, and no one is granted a gift better and more comprehensive than patience”.
