The reader:
"And from Abu Sa'id, Sa'd ibn Malik ibn Sinan al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them both): That some of the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he gave to them, then they asked him again, so he gave to them, until what he had was exhausted. So he said to them when he had spent everything in his hand: Whatever good there is with me, I will not withhold it from you. And whoever restrains himself, Allah will restrain him, and whoever is content, Allah will make him content, and whoever is patient, Allah will make him patient. And no one has been given a gift better or more expansive than patience.
أن ناساً مِن الأنصار سألوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأعطاهم ، ثم سألوه فأعطاهم ، حتى نفد ما عنده ، فقال لهم حين أنفق كل شيء بيده : ما يكن مِن خير فلن أدَّخره عنكم ، ومن يستعفف يعفه الله ، ومن يستغن يغنه الله ، ومن يتصبر يصبره الله ، وما أعطي أحد عطاء خيراً وأوسع مِن الصبر
, agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim".
