Riyad as-Saliheen 553

'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed some wealth and I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you not think that there are other people who are more deserving than these whom you gave." He ﷺ said, "They had, in fact, left no alternative for me except either they should beg of me importunately or they would regard me as a miser; but I am not a miser."

[Muslim].

وعن عمر رضي الله عنه قال: قسم رسول الله ﷺ قسماً، فقلت: يا رسول الله لغير هؤلاء كانوا أحق به منهم؟ فقال: "إنهم خيروني أن يسألوني بالفحش فأعطيهم، أو يبخلوني، ولست بباخل" . ((رواه مسلم)).
