Do not ask for things from others if you can afford them yourself; use your own resources first before asking others for help or assistance; be generous with your wealth; be humble and modest in your requests; rely on yourself first before relying on others .

This hadith is about the wrong of begging when one has enough money to buy what they are asking for. In this hadith, AbuSa'id al-Khudri narrates that the Prophet said that if someone begs when they have something equivalent to an Uqiyah in value, then they have begged immoderately. An Uqiyah was equivalent to forty Dirhams during the time of the Prophet. To illustrate this point, AbuSa'id al-Khudri mentioned his she-camel Yaqutah which was better than an Uqiyah and thus he did not beg anything from anyone as he had enough money to purchase what he wanted himself. This hadith teaches us that we should not ask for things from others if we can afford them ourselves and instead use our own resources first before asking others for help or assistance.
