Sunan Abi Dawud 1488 (Book 8, Hadith 73) #21780
The Generosity of God

SUMMARY: God is generous and will not turn away anyone who raises their hands to Him in prayer.

Narrated Salman al-Farsi: The Prophet said: Your Lord is munificent and generous, and is ashamed to turn away empty the hands of His servant when he raises them to Him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ - حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَيْمُونٍ صَاحِبَ الأَنْمَاطِ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا

This shows us how kind and loving God is towards His servants. He wants to give them whatever they need and desires for them to be happy and content with their lives.
