Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُلْحِفُوا فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ فوَاللَّه لَا يسألني أحدق مِنْكُمِ شَيْئًا فَتُخْرِجَ لَهُ مَسْأَلَتُهُ مِنِّي شَيْئًا وَأَنَا لَهُ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَارَكَ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتُهُ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Translation
Muawiya said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Do not beg insistently. By Allah, if any of you asks me for something and his persistence draws something out of me while I am unwilling, it will not be blessed for him in what I have given him.’ Muslim transmitted it.
