وَمَا زَالَ الْكَرَمُ الْمُحَمَّدِيُّ مَضْرِبًا لِلْأَمْثَالِ، فَقَدْ كَانَ ﷺ أَسْخَى النَّاسِ يَدًا، مَا سُئِلَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لَا.

(from previous page) ⟵ He said: It is not proper to punish with fire except the Lord of the Fire. The Muhammadan generosity has always been exemplary, for he (peace be upon him) was the most generous of people, never asked for anything and said no.

قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي رَمَضَانَ... فَلَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَجْوَدُ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ».

Ibn Abbas said: 'The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people, and he was at his most generous during Ramadan... He was more generous with goodness than a life-giving breeze.'

عَطَايَا طَائِلَةٌ يَبْذُلُهَا لِسَائِلِيهِ عَنْ طِيبِ نَفْسٍ وَهُوَ لَا يَمْلِكُ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَحْمِلُ مِنْهَا إِلَى بَيْتِهِ دِرْهَمًا، وَقَدْ يَبِيتُ طَاوِيًا هُوَ وَأَهْلُهُ لَا يَجِدُ مَا يَأْكُلُ.

He would give vast gifts to those who asked, doing so willingly even when he owned nothing himself and kept not a single dirham for his own home; he and his family would often go to sleep hungry, with nothing to eat.
