1629. Sahl bin Hanẓalah reported: "Uyainah bin Hiṣn and Al-Aqra' bin Hābis both came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and asked of him, so he ordered that they be given what they asked for. And he ordered Mu'āwiyah to write what they wanted. So as for Al-Aqra', he took the letter, wrapped it in his turban, and left. And as for 'Uyainah, he took the letter and came to the place where the Prophet ﷺ was at, and said: 'O Muḥammad! Do you think that I will carry a letter to my people while I don't know what is written in it, just like the letter of Al-Mutalammis?' Mu'āwiyah informed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ of what he had said. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ replied: 'Whoever asks while he has what will suffice him, he only increases (asking) for the Fire.” Another time, An-Nufailī (one of the narrators) said: “the coals of Hell” — “They said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! And what counts as being sufficient’” — Another time, An-Nufailī said: “and what counts as being enough such that he is prohibited from asking?” — “He replied: ‘Enough to feed him his morning meal and dinner.’” — Another time An-Nufailī said: “That he has enough to feed himself to his full for a day and night, or for a night and day.” And he would narrate it to us in abridged form with wording like that which I mentioned. (Da’if)

1629 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْكِينٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ ابْنُ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ، وَالْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ، فَسَأَلَاهُ، فَأَمَرَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلَا، وَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَتَبَ لَهُمَا بِمَا سَأَلَا، فَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ، فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهُ، فَلَفَّهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَانْطَلَقَ، وَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فَأَخَذَ كِتَابَهُ، وَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَانَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَتُرَانِي حَامِلًا إِلَى قَوْمِي كِتَابًا لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهِ، كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ، فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِقَوْلِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَأَلَ وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ، فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ النَّارِ» - وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ - فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ؟ - وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: وَمَا الْغِنَى الَّذِي لَا تَنْبَغِي مَعَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ؟ - قَالَ: «قَدْرُ مَا يُغَدِّيهِ وَيُعَشِّيهِ» وَقَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: «أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ شِبْعُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، أَوْ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ»، وَكَانَ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ مُخْتَصَرًا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظِ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتُ
