[Machine] O Messenger of Allah, Omar said, "I heard so-and-so mentioning and praising you, claiming that you gave him two dinars." The Prophet replied, "But that is not true. However, Omar, he did receive a sum of money from me, ranging between one hundred to ten." Then he said, "And indeed, one of you may come to me with their request, and I will give it to them while holding firmly onto it." Ahmad or someone similar said, "And it is nothing but fire." Omar then said, "O Messenger of Allah, why did you give them?" He replied, "What can I do? They ask of me and Allah refuses to make me stingy."
عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ فُلَانًا يَذْكُرُ وَيُثْنِي خَيْرًا زَعَمَ أَنَّكَ أَعْطَيْتَهُ دِينَارَيْنِ قَالَ «لَكِنْ فُلَانٌ مَا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَلَقَدْ أَصَابَ مِنِّي مَا بَيْنَ مِائَةٍ إِلَى عَشَرَةٍ» قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ عِنْدِي بِمَسْأَلَتِهِ مُتَأَبِّطُهَا» قَالَ أَحْمَدُ أَوْ نَحْوَهُ «وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا نَارٌ» قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلِمَ تُعْطِيهُمْ؟ قَالَ «مَا أَصْنَعُ؟ يَسْأَلُونِي وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ لِيَ الْبُخْلَ»
