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?'"
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ، وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Wealth does not mean having a lot of property, rather
wealth is in being content."
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 said, "Allah Almighty allotted character between
you as He divided provision between you. Allah Almighty bestows wealth
on those He loves and those He does not love. He only bestows faith upon those who
He loves. Whoever is stingy about spending his wealth, fears to fight
the enemy, and is terrified of enduring the night should frequently repeat .
'There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, Glory be to Allah, All praises are due to Allah, and
Allah is the greatest."
