538/1 - Sālim ibn ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar related that his father Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “I heard ‘Umar say: ‘The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to give me money and I would say (to him): “Give it to someone who needs it more than me.” So once he said to me: “Take it. Whatever comes to you of this money while you were not keen to have it and you did not ask for it, then take it. If you wish use all of it, and if you wish give it in charity. But what you are not given, do not covet it.” Sālim said: “So ‘Abdullāh would not ask anyone for anything and would not refuse anything given to him.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

1) A person should not humiliate himself by coveting wealth and getting deeply attached to seeking it.
2) If you are given something without asking for it or coveting it, then accept it. This is commendable in the Shariah, because rejecting a gift may make the giver dislike you.
