Some of the Ansar begged from the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and he gave them something. They later begged from him again and he gave them something so that what he had was exhausted. He then said :What I have I shall never store away from you but Allah will strengthen the abstinence of him who abstains, will give a satisfaction to him who wants to be satisfied, and will strengthen the endurance of him who shows endurance. No one has been given a more ample gift than endurance. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1644)
جَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَسْأَلُهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ حَتَّى نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ حِينَ أَنْفَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِيَدِهِ وَمَا يكُنْ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ نَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللهُ وَلَنْ تُعْطَوْا عَطَاءً خَيْرًاوأَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ
