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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and ask him to give us something to eat.’ So I went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and found a man with him asking him (for something), and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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-Asadl said: I said: ‘Our much-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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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.” (Sahih)
