Permissibility of Assistance without Greed

Riyad as-SalihinHadith Number 537

عن سالم بن عبد الله بن عمر، عن أبيه عبد الله بن عمر، عن عمر رضي الله عنهم قال‏:‏ كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطيني العطاء، فأقول‏:‏ أعطه من هو أفقر إليه مني، فقال‏:‏ ‏ "‏خذه؛ إذا جاءك من هذا المال شئ، وأنت غير مشرف ولا سائل، فخذه فتموله فإن شئت كله، وإن شئت تصدق به، وما لا، فلا تتبعه نفسك‏"‏ قال سالم‏:‏ فكان عبد الله لا يسأل أحداً شيئاً، ولا يرد شيئاً أعطيه‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

'Umar Narrated from:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would give me some gift, but I would say: "Give it to someone who needs it more than I." Thereupon he (ﷺ) would say, "Take it when it comes to you without begging and without greed, and add it to your property. Then use it yourself or give it away in charity. As for the rest, do not covet it." Salim said: 'Abdullah bin 'Umar would never ask anything from anyone, nor would he refuse accepting it when it was given to him. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
