-" إنما انا مبلغ والله يهدي وقاسم والله يعطي، فمن بلغه مني شيء بحسن رغبة وحسن هدى، فإن ذلك الذي يبارك له فيه ومن بلغه عني شيء بسوء رغبة وسوء هدى، فذاك الذي ياكل ولا يشبع".
It is narrated from Muawiyah bin Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I am a conveyor (of the message), guidance is from Allah, and I am the distributor, the Giver is Allah. If a person receives something from me with good desire and in a good manner, then there will be blessing in it for him. And if someone receives something with bad desire and in a bad manner, then he is like a person who eats but is not satisfied."

She asked him: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(There is no harm) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself does this." She clarified the situation to her husband, but he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is given concession in certain specific matters (which are not for the common believer), so go again and present my objection before him. She went again to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: My husband says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is granted permission for certain things as a special case (but we...). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am the one among you who fears Allah the most and knows His limits the best."
