It was narrated that Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif said:
One day we were sitting in the Masjid with a group of the Muhajirin and Ansar, We sent a man to 'Aishah to ask permission to come to her. She said: 'A beggar came in to me one day when the Messenger of Allah was present, and I ordered that he be given something, then I called for it and looked at it. The Messenger of Allah said: Do you want that nothing should enter or leave your house without your knowledge? I said: 'Yes.' He said: Don't be hasty, O 'Aishah. Do not count what you give, otherwise Allah will count what He gives to you. '
