Hadith text · Matn

‏ لاَ تُلْحِفُوا فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَلاَ يَسْأَلْنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا وَأَنَا لَهُ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَارَكُ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتُهُ ‏

‏ ‏.‏

English translation

It was narrated from Mu'awiyah that the Messenger of Allah said:

"Do not be demanding when asking. If one of you asks me for anything and I give it reluctantly, there will be no blessing in it."
