ONE HADITH A DAY
Narrated by Muslim · Authentic hadith
عن عمر رضي الله عنه قال: قَسَمَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قَسْمًا، فقلت: يا رسول الله لَغَيْرُ هؤلاء كانوا أحق به منهم؟ فقال: «إنهم خَيَّرُونِي أن يسألوني بالْفُحْشِ، أو يُبَخِّلُونِي ولست بِبَاخِلٍ».
“‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) divided some wealth, and I said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, were not other than those people more deserving of it than them?" He replied: "They left me no alternative but that they either beg of me importunately or regard me as a miser, and I am not a miser."”
