Three-Narrator Ahadith 24
Sufyān reported from Ibn al-Munkadir:
“I heard Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (رضي الله عنه) say: ‘The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) was never asked for anything (he owned) that he responded to with: No [i.e., he always gave and never refused].’”

Musnad Aḥmad 24
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ: «مَا سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا قَطُّ، فَقَالَ: لَا.»

isnād meets the conditions of al-Bukhārī and Muslim (al-Arnaʾūṭ, no. 14294).
Isnād: Imām Aḥmad ← Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna ← Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir ← Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh. Rijāl: Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna: thiqah ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām. Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir al-Qurashī al-Tīmī (d. 130 AH): thiqah fāḍil; one of the great scholars and pious worshippers (ʿubbād) of Medina; praised by Mālik and others. Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh: Companion. Takhrīj: al-Bukhārī, no. 6034; Muslim, no. 2311; al-Tirmidhī, no. 2016. The negation here is the negation of refusal: the Prophet (ﷺ) was never asked for anything and replied with “no” by way of refusal. This encapsulates his extraordinary generosity, a generosity that multiple companions described as surpassing even the wind in its universality and swiftness.
