Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that my mother sent me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Go and request help from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sat down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards me and said, "Whoever seeks chastity, Allah grants him chastity; whoever seeks sufficiency from Allah, Allah grants him sufficiency; and whoever seeks contentment from Allah, Allah grants him contentment. And whoever asks us for something and we have it, we will give it to him." Hearing this, that man went back and did not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything. And whoever asks someone despite having the value of an uqiyah of silver with him, he is persistently begging. I thought to myself that my she-camel 'Yaqootah' is worth more than an uqiyah, so I returned and did not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything.
