It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked for something. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had two dinars brought for them, and both of them began praising him. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "But so-and-so does not say such a thing, although I have given him between ten and a hundred (dinars), yet he does not praise like this. Indeed, one of you leaves me with the charity he has taken, tucked under his arm, although it is fire for him." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Why do you give it to him when you know that it is fire for him?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What am I to do? They are not content with anything but asking, and Allah does not approve of my being stingy." The two Shaykhs did not record from Mu'ammar bin Sulayman al-Raqqi, although Imam Muslim recorded from Abdullah bin Bishr al-Raqqi. But this hadith is not a defect ('illah) for the hadith of al-A'mash from Abu Salih; rather, it is a supporting narration for it through another chain.
