Another time a man came to him and asked to give him something. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, had nothing to give but rather than let the man return empty handed he said, "I do not have anything, but buy something on my account and I will pay for it when I get some money." Omar was present and said, "Allah has not commanded you to do what you are unable to do." The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was not predisposed to the remark, whereupon a man from the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah, spend! Do not fear decrease from the Owner of the Throne!" Upon hearing this, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, smiled and his pleasure could be seen on his face. Then he said, "This is what I am commanded." (As-Shifa Shareef)
