Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was merciful. No one came to him but that he promised him
something and carried out that promise, if he had anything to give. The
iqama for the prayer had been given when a bedouin came, took hold of
his garment, and stated, 'I am still not satisfied and I'm afraid of forgetting'. The Prophet went with him until the man had received
what he wanted then he returned and prayed."
'Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr said, "I have never seen two women more
generous than 'A'isha and Asma'. Their generosity was different. 'A'isha
used to gather things and after they had been collected together, she would
share them out. Asma' would not keep anything for the next day."
Anas said, "I served the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, for ten years. He never said 'uff' to me and he never questioned me
about anything I had not done, asking, 'Why didn't you do it?' or questioned me about something
I had done, asking 'Why did you do that?'"
