Ashamed to turn away empty hands

Narrated Salman radee Allaahu 'anhu Allaah's Messenger salaa Allaahu alayhi was salam said, "Your Lord is Magnificent and Generous and ashamed to turn away empty the hands of a slave when he raises them [2] to Him." [Al-Araba'a except An-Nasa'i reported it; Al-Hakim graded it sahih (sound)]
