It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty is too modest to let His servant spread out both his hands before Him (in request), pleading in them for some good, and then return those two hands empty and disappointed." This chain is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, and Ja'far bin Maymun has narrated it with a connected chain (mawsul) through Abu Uthman al-Nahdi.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty is extremely modest and generous; He is too modest before His servant, when he spreads out his hands before Him, to then return them empty (and disappointed)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty is most merciful, modest and generous; He is too modest before His servant, when he raises his hands to Him, to then not place any good in those hands."
