Sahih Muslim 1771b (Book 32, Hadith 85) #11713
Generosity and Kindness of the Prophet (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) showed generosity and kindness to Umm Aiman by giving her more than what she had originally been given, even though the original gift was meant for someone else.

It has been narrated by Anas that (after his migration to Medina) a person placed at the Prophet's ﷺ disposal some date-palms growing on his land until the lands of Qurayza and Nadir were conquered. Then he began to return to him whatever he had received. (In this connection) my people told me to approach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ask from him what his people had given him or a portion thereof, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had bestowed those trees upon Umm Aiman. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he gave hem (back) to me. Umm Aiman (also) came (at this time). She put the cloth round my neck and said: No, by Allah, we will not give to, you what he has granted to me. The Prophet ﷺ said: Umm Aiman, let him have them and for you are such and such trees instead. But she said: By Allah, there is no god besides Him. No, never! The Prophet ﷺ continued saying: (You will get) such and such. until he had granted her ten times or nearly ten times more (than the original gift).
