Anas says that once when a man asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) to give him something, he gave him a flock of sheep enough to fill the space between two hillocks.

The man returned to his people and said to them,
"O ye people, embrace Islam. Muhammed gives so open-handedly as if he fears not poverty. "

Another time, ninety thousand dirhams were presented to the Prophet (peace be upon him).

He asked to heap them up on a mat and then started giving it away.

Nobody who asked for it was denied until the entire heap of money disappeared.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah says that, it never happened that the God's Messenger (peace be upon him) was requested to give anything and he said 'No' in reply.

Ibn 'Abbas testifies that in generosity and bountifulness the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was swifter than the wings of the wind. '
