H 556 The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, had distributed some property when Omar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, the others were more deserving than these.' He replied, 'They have the option to either ask me openly for it - and I would give them - or, they might charge me with miserliness, and I am not a miser.'" R 556 Muslim with a chain up to Omar who related this hadith.
553- وعن عمر رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قسم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قَسْماً ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رسولَ الله ، لَغَيْرُ هؤلاَءِ كَانُوا أحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ ؟ فَقَالَ : "إنَّهُمْ خَيرُونِي أنْ يَسألُوني بالفُحْشِ ، أَوْ يُبَخِّلُونِي ، وَلَسْتُ بِبَاخِلٍ" رواه مسلم .
