Abu Said al-Khudri said: Some of the Ansar begged from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and he gave them something. They later begged from him again and he gave them something so that what he had was exhausted. He then said: What I have I shall never store away from you but Allah will strengthen the abstinence of him who abstains, will give a satisfaction to him who wants to be satisfied, and will strengthen the endurance of him who shows endurance. No one has been given a more ample gift than endurance.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone begs when he has something equivalent to an uqiyah in value, he has begged immoderately. So I said: My she-camel, Yaqutah, is better than an uqiyah. The version of Hisham goes: "better than forty dirhams. So I returned and did not beg anything from him. " Hisham added in his version: "An uqiyah during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was equivalent to forty dirhams. "
