Abdur Rahman bin Abu Sa’id narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him): My mother sent me to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). I presented myself before him and sat down. He turned towards me and said:“Whoever wants to be self-sufficient, Allah makes him self-sufficient; whoever wants to remain chaste, Allah grants him chastity; whoever wants contentment, Allah grants him contentment. Whoever asks something from another while he possesses the value of one uqiyah (of silver), then he has sought excess.”(Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates): I thought that my she-camel, Yaqutah, is worth more than one uqiyah, so I returned and did not ask you (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) for anything.
