Does he commit a sin if he demands an increase?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Does he commit a sin if he demands an increase?

The Shaykh : By Allah, I have nothing but the hadith of 'Umar:

Take out of this wealth which comes to you without your being avaricious and without begging, but in other circumstance's do not let your heart hanker after it.

ما جاءك من هذا المال وأنت غير مشرف ولا سائل فخذه وما لا فلا تتبعه نفسك

Sahih Muslim 1045a

Do not let your soul become attached.
