Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) distributed something. Upon this I said:Messenger of Allah, I swear by God, the others besides them were more deserving than these (to whom you gave charity). He said: They had in fact left no other alternative for me. but (that they should) either beg importunately from me or they would regard me as a miser, but I am not a miserRapporté par Omar b. Khattab رضي الله عنه : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a distribué quelque chose. J’ai alors dit : « Ô Messager d’Allah, par Allah, d’autres que ceux-là méritaient plus ce que tu as donné. » Il a répondu : « En fait, ils ne m’ont laissé d’autre choix : soit ils insistaient pour que je leur donne, soit ils me considéraient comme avare. Mais je ne suis pas avare. »Grades given by scholars
