Sahih Muslim Book - 12, Hadith - 2390

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لاَ تُلْحِفُوا فِى الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ يَسْأَلُنِى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا فَتُخْرِجَ لَهُ مَسْأَلَتُهُ مِنِّى شَيْئًا وَأَنَا لَهُ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَارَكَ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتُهُ ».

It was narrated that the Muawiyah said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Do not persist in asking, for by Allah, because there is no one who asks me for something, and gets something by asking me for it while I am reluctant to give it him, and is blessed therein.’”
