أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
سَرَّحَتْنِي أُمِّي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَعَدْتُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي وَقَالَ «مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَعَفَّ أَعَفَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَكَفَّ كَفَاهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ قِيمَةُ وَقِيَّةٍ فَقَدْ أَلْحَفَ» فَقُلْتُ نَاقَتِي الْيَاقُوتَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ وُقِيَّةٍ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ

✧ My mother sent me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I came to him and sat down. He faced me and said, “Whoever seeks to be self-sufficient, Allah will enrich him; whoever seeks to refrain from asking, Allah will help him refrain; whoever seeks to be content with little, Allah will suffice him. And whoever asks while he has the value of an ūqiyyah has persisted in importuning.” I said, “My she-camel al-Yāqūtah is better than an ūqiyyah,” so I returned and did not ask him.
