Sahih Muslim Book - 12, Hadith - 2424

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِىِّ عَنْ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَأَعْطَاهُمْ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ قَالَ « مَا يَكُنْ عِنْدِى مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَصْبِرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللَّهُ وَمَا أُعْطِىَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ عَطَاءٍ خَيْرٌ وَأَوْسَعُ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ ».

It was narrated from Abu Saeed Al-Khudri that some people from among Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and he gave them, and then they asked him and he gave them, until what he had was exhausted. He said: ‘Whatever I have of good, I will never withhold from you, but whoever refrains from asking, Allah will make him content, whoever seeks to be independent of means, Allah will make him independent, and whoever is patient Allah will bestow patience upon him, and no one is ever given anything better and more generous than patience.’
