حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، حَتَّى نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُم، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ، وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللهُ، وَمَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ عَطَاءً خَيْرًا وَأَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri Narrated from:
Some Ansâri persons asked for (something) from Allâh's Messenger ﷺ and he gave them. They again asked him for (something) and he again gave them. And then they asked him and he gave them again till all that was with him finished. And then he said, "If I had anything, I would not keep it away from you.(Remember) whoever abstains from asking others, Allâh will make him contented, and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allâh will make him self- sufficient. And whoever remain patient, Allâh will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience." [1]( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 548, Vol. 2 )
[1] The Arabic word for "patience" also conveys the meaning of perseverance, constancy and endurance.
