Majma al-Zawaid 4611 — The virtue of charity
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ : " مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ [قَطُّ] ، وَمَا مَدَّ عَبْدٌ يَدَهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ إِلَّا أُلْقِيَتْ فِي يَدِ اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقَعَ فِي يَدِ السَّائِلِ ، وَلَا فَتَحَ عَبْدٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ لَهُ عَنْهَا غِنًى إِلَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ فَقْرٍ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) relates this as a marfu' hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Charity never decreases wealth. Whenever a servant stretches out his hand to give charity, it is placed in the Hand of Allah Almighty before it falls into the hand of the one who asks. And any servant who opens a door of begging while he is well-off, Allah Almighty opens a door of poverty upon him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.
