The Messenger of Allah ﷺ shared out (some booty) and I said: O Messenger of Allah, others are more deserving of this than them: ahlus-suffah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿYou are giving me the choice of having you ask importunately or regard me as a miser, and I am not a miser.ʿ  

أحمد:١٢٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ

قَالَسَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قِسْمَةً فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَغَيْرُ هَؤُلاءِ أَحَقُّ مِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ الصُّفَّةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ تُخَيِّرُونِي بَيْنَ أَنْ تَسْأَلُونِي بِالْفُحْشِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ تُبَخِّلُونِي وَلَسْتُ بِبَاخِلٍ
