حديث عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْطِينِي الْعَطَاءَ فَأَقُولُ: أَعْطِهِ مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَرُ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي، فَقَالَ: خُذْهُ، إِذَا جَاءَكَ مِنْ هذَا الْمَالِ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرِفٍ وَلَا سَائِلٍ فَخُذْهُ، وَمَا لَا، فَلَا تُتْبِعْهُ نَفْسَكَ.
'Umar Narrated from:
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم used to give me something but I would say to him, "Would you give it to a poorer and more needy one then me?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to me, "Take it. If you are given something from this property, without asking for it or having greed for it, take it; and if not given, do not run for it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 552, Vol. 2 )
