وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -{ مَنْ سَأَلَ اَلنَّاسَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ تَكَثُّرًا, فَإِنَّمَا يَسْأَلُ جَمْرًا, فَلْيَسْتَقِلَّ أَوْ لِيَسْتَكْثِرْ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه مسلم ( 1041 ).

Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"He who asks others to give to him in order to increase his own wealth, is akin to one who asks for live coals. He who wishes to have more, let him have it and he who wishes to have less, let him have it." Related by Muslim.
