عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ رَجُلٌ شَدِيدٌ وَيَأْتِينِي الْمِسْكِينُ فَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((ارْضَخِي وَلَا تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ))
Narrated by Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that my husband, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), is a strict-tempered man, so if a needy person comes to me, can I give charity from his house without his permission? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give a little something and do not be miserly, otherwise Allah Almighty will also become miserly towards you.
