Sahih Muslim Hadith 2406 – It Is Permissible (‘rv

English

[2406] 111 – ( … ) It was narrated from Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh from his father, that the Messenger of Allah used to give things to 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb, may Allah be pleased with him, and 'Umar would say to him: "0 Messenger of Allah, give it to one who is more in need of it than me." The Messenger of Allah said to him: "Take it, and keep it, or give it in charity. Whatever comes to you of this wealth when you are not hoping for it or asking for it, take it, otherwise do not hanker after it." Sâlim said: "Because of that, Ibn 'Umar did not ask anyone for anything, and he did not refuse anything that was given to him."
