It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he gave them. Then they asked again, and he gave them again, until whatever he had was finished. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever wealth I have, I will not withhold from you. But whoever refrains from asking, Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, will protect him; and whoever seeks to be content and shows self-sufficiency, Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, will make him self-sufficient; and whoever is patient, Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, will grant him patience. And no blessing has been given to people that is better and more expansive than patience."
