Satisfaction in Giving and Receiving

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ gave a Qaba to Makhrama, who was satisfied with it.

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: Allah's Messenger distributed some Qaba's but he did not give anything to Makhrama. Makhrama said (to me), "O my son! Let us go to Allah's Messenger ". So I proceeded with him and he said, "Go in and call him 'or me". So I called the Prophet for him The Prophet came out to him, wearing one of those Qaba's and said, (to Makhrama), "I have kept this for you " Makhrama looked at it and said, "Makhrama is satisfied now".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، قَالَ قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَقْبِيَةً، وَلَمْ يُعْطِ مَخْرَمَةَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ مَخْرَمَةُ يَا بُنَىَّ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ ادْخُلْ فَادْعُهُ لِي‏.‏ قَالَ فَدَعَوْتُهُ لَهُ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ خَبَأْتُ هَذَا لَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَضِيَ مَخْرَمَةُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of giving and receiving. It shows that when we give something to someone, they should be satisfied with it. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) distributed some Qaba's but he did not give anything to Makhrama. However, when Makhrama asked for something, the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him one of the Qaba's and said "I have kept this for you". This shows us that even if we don't get what we want at first, if we ask politely then Allah will provide us with what is best for us. Furthermore, it teaches us that when someone gives us something out of kindness or generosity, we should be grateful and accept it without complaint or dissatisfaction.
