لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَنْفَقَ مَا فِي يَدَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلٍ مِنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ أَحْسَنَ وَ لَا وُفِّقَ أَ لَيْسَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ لا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَ أَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ يَعْنِي الْمُقْتَصِدِينَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Hammad Bin Waqid Al Lahaam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘If only a man spends whatever is in his hands in a Way from the Ways of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, there would be neither any good nor of any value. Is not Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Exalted Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h195"><a href="/books/quran:2#h195">[2:195]</a></a> and cast not yourselves to destruction with your own hands, and do good (to others); surely Allah loves the doers of good</span> – Meaning the economizers (moderate in their spending)’.
