حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، سَمِعْتُ فُلَانًا يَقُولُ خَيْرًا، ذَكَرَ أَنَّكَ أَعْطَيْتَهُ دِينَارَيْنِ، قَالَ: " لَكِنْ فُلَانٌ لَا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ، وَلَا يُثْنِي بِهِ، لَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْعَشَرَةِ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ - أَوْ قَالَ: إِلَى الْمِائَتَيْنِ - وَإِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيَسْأَلُنِي الْمَسْأَلَةَ، فَأُعْطِيهَا إِيَّاهُ، فَيَخْرُجُ بِهَا مُتَأَبِّطُهَا، وَمَا هِيَ لَهُمْ (١) إِلَّا نَارٌ "، قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلِمَ تُعْطِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّهُمْ يَأْبَوْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلُونِي، وَيَأْبَى اللهُ لِي الْبُخْلَ " (٢)،

Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the presence of the Messenger, "O Messenger of Allah! I have heard so-and-so two men praising and mentioning that you have given them two dinars each." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But by Allah! That man is not like that. I have given him from ten up to a hundred dinars, yet he neither says this nor praises. Remember! Whoever among you leaves my presence after fulfilling his request is leaving with fire under his arm." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Then why do you give them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What can I do? They do not accept anything else, and Allah does not like miserliness for me."
