Parshas Vaeschanan starts off with Moshe’s Prayer to Hashem to which Rashi comments he asked for a free gift why was he asking for a free gift?
The Imrie Shefer Answers that if you remember by Avraham after he conquered the 5 kings he was afraid he had used up all his credit for his righteousness so Hashem told him

Here too Moshe had the same concern,he had just conquered Sichon and Og so he asked for a free gift. Therefore Hashem answered him
?? ??,You have got plenty of credit it is nothing to worry about.
The Zohar says we come into this world to accomplish, in order not to get MiNahman Dikusufah-Bread of Shame, in that we revived a gift without working for it so how does it add up? The Talile Oros of Rav Klar brings that the only time it is a shame to ask is if you are poor meaning in our example you lack Mitzvos but if you are rich than asking is no problem, as they know you have the money to pay, and they even might want to give you a gift to keep you coming back Hence the Problem of getting gifts MiNahman Dikusufah-Bread of Shame for tzaddikim and especially Moshe is a non issue
