وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّمَا أَنَا خَازِنٌ وَإِنَّمَا يُعْطِي اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَمَنْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ عَطَاءً عَنْ طِيبِ نَفْسٍ، فَهُوَ أَنْ يُبَارَكَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ، وَمَنْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ عَطَاءً عَنْ شَرَهٍ وَشَرَهِ (١) مَسْأَلَةٍ، فَهُوَ كَالْآكِلِ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
And I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: I am only a treasurer, the real giver is Allah. Therefore, if I give something to a person with a happy heart, then it will be made blessed for him. And if I give something to someone to protect myself from his evil or because of his insistence in asking, then he is like the one who keeps eating but is never satisfied.
