سنن النسائي

It was narrated from 'Ata'bin Yasar that a man from Banu Asad said: "My wife and I stopped at Baqi Al-Gharqad, and my wife said to me: 'Go to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and ask him to give us something to eat. ' So I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and found a man with him asking him (for something), and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was saying: 'I do not have anything to give to you.' The man turned away angrily, saying: 'You only give to those you want. 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'He is angry with me because I did not have anything to give him. Whoever asks of you and he has an Uqiyah or its equivalent, then he has been too demanding in asking."' Al-Asadi said: I said: 'Our milch-camel is worth more than an Uqiyah, 'and an Uqiyah is forty Dirhams. "So I went back and did not ask him for anything. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got some barley and raisins after that, and he gave us a share of them, until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made us independent of means."
