"لا يَسْألُ رجل مولاهُ من فضل هو عنده فيمنعَه إياه إِلا دُعى له يوم القيامة فضله الذي منعه شجاعًا أقرعَ".

Collected by Nasāʾī, Abū Dāwūd, Aḥmad, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, Suyūṭī"No man comes to his Mawla and asks him for something from the surplus of what he has, and he withholds it from him, but on the Day of Resurrection a bald-headed Shuja'a [1] will be called to him and will be licking the surplus that he withheld."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَأْتِي رَجُلٌ مَوْلاَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلاَّ دُعِيَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعٌ أَقْرَعُ يَتَلَمَّظُ فَضْلَهُ الَّذِي مَنَعَ
I said: Messenger of Allah! to whom should I show kindness? He replied: Your mother, next your mother, next your mother, and then comes your father, and then your relatives in order of relationship. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If a man asks his slave whom he freed for giving him property which is surplus with him and he refuses to give it to him, the surplus property which he refused to give will be called on the Day of resurrection as a large bald snake. Abu Dawud said: Aqra' means a snake whose hair of the head were removed on account of poison.
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ قَالَ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ أَبَاكَ ثُمَّ الأَقْرَبَ فَالأَقْرَبَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَسْأَلُ رَجُلٌ مَوْلاَهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ هُوَ عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعُهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلاَّ دُعِيَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَضْلُهُ الَّذِي مَنَعَهُ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ
"No man comes to his Mawla and asks him for something from the surplus of what he has, and he withholds it from him, but on the Day of Resurrection a bald-headed Shuja'a [1] will be called to him and will be licking the surplus that he withheld." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2566)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "No one should ask a favor of someone who has it, and he refuses unless on the Day of Resurrection, his favor would be with him, knocking."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man does not approach his leader asking for favors from him, and the leader withholds them, except that Allah will make him on the Day of Resurrection a coward, deafening his favor that he withholds."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَأْتِي رَجُلٌ مَوْلَاهُ فَيَسْأَلَهُ فَضْلًا عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعَهُ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللهُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ فَضْلَهُ الَّذِي يَمْنَعُ»
