Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

KEEPING ONE’S NEEDS TO ONE’S SELF

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying, “If one who is afflicted by poverty refers it to men, his poverty will not be brought to an end: but if one refers it to ALLAAH, He will soon give him sufficiency, either by a speedy death or by sufficiency which comes later.” [Abu Dawud]

Hadrat Umar bin al-Khattab (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated: The Prophet was giving me something and I requested him to give it to some one who had more need of it than me, but he said, “Take it, keep it with your property and give it as sadaqah. Take what comes to you when you are neither avaricious nor begging, but in other circumstances do not let your desire go after it. [Bukhari and Muslim]
