When the Prophet (pbuh) showed generosity, he expected nothing in return. Many rich men, especially kings, give charity, hoping not for a monetary return, but instead for respect, love, admiration, loyalty, or maybe even just an obsequious kiss on the hand. The Prophet (pbuh) expected none of these things. Or described in the words of a poet: ~ You see him, when you go to him, with a cheerful expression on his face, Making it seem that you are the one giving him that which you ask for.~ ↗
