When you are given something and it still is not enough
Ayyūb ﷺ was asked whether he had had enough. This was the answer.
بَيْنَمَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا خَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رِجْلُ جَرَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَحْثِي فِي ثَوْبِهِ، فَنَادَى رَبُّهُ يَا أَيُّوبُ، أَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَغْنَيْتُكَ عَمَّا تَرَى قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ غِنَى لِي عَنْ بَرَكَتِكَ
Yā Rabbi, wa lākin lā ghinā lī ʿan barakatik.
“My Lord, but I can never do without Your blessing.”
Where this comes from
Gold was raining down on him and he was gathering it into his garment. He was asked whether he had had enough. He said yes, and then said this: he still could not do without the blessing behind it.
The full narration
Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While Job was naked, taking a bath, a swarm of gold locusts fell on him and he started collecting them in his garment. His Lord called him, 'O Job! Have I not made you rich enough to need what you see? He said, 'Yes, O Lord! But I cannot dispense with your Blessing
