Blessings of contentment, self-sufficiency, and patience; Patience is the ultimate blessing
Some people from the Anṣār asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave them. They again asked him and he gave them again until all that was with him finished. And then he said, "If I had anything, I would not keep it away from you: (1) Whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will grant him contentment; (2) whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will grant him self-sufficiency; and (3) whoever practices patientice, Allah will grant him patience. No one can be given a blessing better and greater than patience."
أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، حَتَّى نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ، فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ: (١) وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ، (٢) وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ، (٣) وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ عَطَاءً خَيْرًا وَأَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ»
