وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ إِذَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَانِي وَإِذَا سَكَتُّ ابْتَدَأَنِي. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ «حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ»

`Ali said

"When I asked God's messenger for anything he gave it to me, and when I said nothing, he was the first to speak*."*Or it may mean that he gave something without being asked.Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan gharib tradition.
