The Prophet ﷺ was so generous like a freely blowing wind who would give away without fearing poverty. Despite his generosity, he ﷺ endeavored to teach people to be content and self-sufficient and to only hope from Allah for what He has is better and everlasting. In this hadeeth, Aboo Sa’eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that a group from the Ansaar – whom he did not name – asked the Prophet ﷺ for some money so he ﷺ gave them the money they asked for. He kept asking until he ﷺ gave them all the money he had. Then, the Prophet ﷺ explained to them that he will not keep away from them any money he has. Then, he ﷺ advised them to abstain from taking their needs through unlawful means, because Allah will facilitate to whoever possess this quality to obtain his needs through lawful means. After, he ﷺ encouraged them to abstain from asking people for anything and to suffice and be content with the little they have, and only ask others for help when there is a necessity that forces them to do so. By doing so, Allah will make them self-sufficient and make them view the little they have as much. Then, he ﷺ encouraged them to remain patient and accustom themselves on it because when a person is patient, he will be able and empowered to refrain from asking others for anything. His statement: “And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient.” Means that whoever endeavours to remain patient and discipline himself to endure the difficulties of life, Allah will fill his heart with patience, and whoever takes the means while being patient, Allah will facilitate for him the means to possess this quality and made it indispensable character of his personality. The Prophet ﷺ then explained that there is no better quality or blessing or a noble character that Allah has given to anyone better than patience. This is because all virtues, such like chastity, courage, determination, dignity, emerge from patience and are based upon it. When a person is patient, he will endure all that which he disliked, by the will of Allah. This hadeeth teaches us that it is possible to possess noble qualities and good characters by practice. It highlights the generosity of the Prophet ﷺ and that he would go beyond loving for others what he loves for himself and putting the needs of others over his own, out of kindness and compassion. It shows that we should apologise to the one asking for help or money when there is nothing to help or provide. The hadeeth encourages us to rely upon Allah, remain patient, and refrain from asking people for help or money, and to wait for the provision and aid from Allah. It shows us that patience is one of the best virtues that one be granted and that its reward is abundant. .
