Hadith.1758 - A group from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and greeted him with peace. He returned their greeting and said, "What is your need?" They replied: "We have a significant request of you." He said: "Tell me your request." They said: "We ask that you guarantee us Paradise from your Lord (azj)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) lowered his head and began to draw in the ground. Then he raised his head and said: "I will grant you this on the condition that you do not ask anyone for anything." It was said that after this, one of them would be on a journey, and if his whip fell, he would not ask anyone to hand it to him but would dismount and pick it up himself to avoid asking. Similarly, when they were seated at a table, if someone closer to the water could pass it, they would not request it but instead stand up and take it themselves.

Hadith.1761 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, has disliked for me six traits, and I also dislike them for the successors from my progeny and their followers after me: carelessness in prayer, inappropriate speech during fasting, reminding others of charity after giving it, entering mosques while in a state of impurity, peering into others' homes, and laughing near graves."

Hadith.1762 - Mas’ada ibn Sadaqa narrates from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), from his forefathers (as): "Indeed, the Commander of the Faithful (as) sent to a man five wasaq (measures) of dates from al-Bughaibigha. This man was among those who would hope for his generosity, appreciate his kindness, and be content with what he gave. He would not ask anything of Ali (as) or anyone else. A man said to the Commander of the Faithful (as), 'By Allah (swt), so-and-so did not ask you for anything, and one wasaq would have sufficed him from the five wasaqs.' The Commander of the Faithful (as) replied to him: 'May Allah (swt) not increase among the believers those like you. I give, and you are miserly with it. If I do not give to the one who hopes for me except after he asks me, and then I give it to him after he has asked, then I have only given him the price of what I have taken from him. That is because I have subjected him to sacrifice his dignity for me, which he places in the dust before his Lord (azj) and my Lord (azj), the Almighty, in his devotion to Him and his request for his needs from Him. Whoever does this to his Muslim brother, knowing that he is deserving of his kindness and support, has not been truthful with Allah (swt), the Almighty, in his supplication for him. This is when he prays for him, saying: "O Allah (swt), forgive the believers, male and female." By this supplication, he is asking for Paradise for him. How unfair is he who prays with his tongue but does not support it with action, withholding the trivial wealth of this world from him. That is because the servant may say in his supplication, "O Allah (swt), forgive the believers, male and female." When he supplicates for his forgiveness, he is asking for Paradise for him. Thus, he is not fair who does this with his words but does not fulfill it with his deeds.'"
