211/277 (صحيح) عن انس قال:" خدمت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عشر سنين، فما قال لي: اف قط، وما قال لي لشيء لم افعله: الا كنت فعلته؟ ولا لشيء فعلته: لم فعلته؟".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I served the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for ten years, but he never even said "uff" to me, and regarding something I did not do, he never said, "Why did you not do it?" And regarding something I did do, he never said, "Why did you do this?"

212/278 عن انس بن مالك قال:" كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رحيما، وكان لا ياتيه احد إلا وعده، وانجز له إن كان عنده، واقيمت الصلاة، وجاءه اعرابي فاخذ بثوبه فقال: إنما بقي من حاجتي يسيرة؛ واخاف انساها، فقام معه حتى فرغ من حاجته، ثم اقبل فصلى".
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was very compassionate. When anyone came to him (for their need), he would make a promise to them and fulfill it, provided he had it with him. (Once) the iqamah for prayer was given and a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), grabbed his garment, and said: "I have a small need left, I fear I might forget it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went with him until his need was fulfilled, and then returned and led the prayer.

Hadith Number: 214
214/280(صحيح الإسناد)- عن عبد الله بن الزبير قال: ما رايت امراتين اجود من عائشة واسماء، وجودهما مختلف، اما عائشة فكانت تجمع الشيء إلى الشيء، حتى إذا كان اجتمع عندها قسمت، واما اسماء فكانت لا تمسك شيئا لغد.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I have not seen any two women more generous than Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The manner of their generosity was different. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to accumulate wealth, and when some wealth was collected with her, she would distribute it. As for Asma (may Allah be pleased with her), her way was that she would not save anything for the next day (i.e., she would spend whatever she had each day).
