Sahih al-Bukhari 6231 (Book 81, Hadith 59)
of them, who asked him, until all that he had was finished. When everything was finished and he had
spent all that was in his hand, he said to them, ‘”(Know) that if I have any wealth, I will not withhold it
from you (to keep for somebody else); And (know) that he who refrains from begging others (or doing
prohibited deeds), Allah will make him contented and not in need of others; and he who remains
patient, Allah will bestow patience upon him, and he who is satisfied with what he has, Allah will
make him self-sufficient. And there is no gift better and vast (you may be given) than patience.”
“ مَا يَكُنْ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ لاَ أَدَّخِرْهُ عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ يُعِفُّهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ، وَلَنْ تُعْطَوْا عَطَاءً خَيْرًا وَأَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ ”.
