10وَأَمَّا السّائِلَ فَلا تَنهَرAli UnalNor chide and drive away the petitioner.1God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, never repelled anyone who asked him for something. He was so willing to help all that Imam Busīrī says: “If he had not had to say ‘No!’ when seated in the Prayer, he would never have uttered the word ‘No!’” (Every Muslim has to say “I bear witness that there is no deity but God,” when seated during the Prayer.) Although giving to whoever asks for something is a noble attitude, it does not mean that we must give to every supplicant regardless of what they ask for, regardless of our means to give or of the consequences of doing so.
