عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا عَالَ مَنِ اقْتَصَدَ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِي أَسَانِيدِهِمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْهَجَرِيُّ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One who adopts moderation does not become needy."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Their chains contain Ibrahim bin Muslim al-Hajari, who is da'if (weak).

وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا أَحْسَنَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْغِنَى ! مَا أَحْسَنَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ ! وَأَحْسَنَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ ! " . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ ، وَمُسْلِمٌ هَذَا لَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ ذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا ابْنَ حِبَّانَ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ سَعِيدٍ الرَّاوِي عَنْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .

Al-Bazzar recorded it as a narration of Sa'id bin Hakim from Muslim bin Habib. I have not found anyone who mentions this Muslim, except that Ibn Hibban mentions him in the biography of Sa'id, the one who narrates from him. The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

وَعَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ : تَمَشَّى مَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمَكَّةَ ، وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ ، فَأَجْهَدَهُ الصَّوْمُ ، فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ نَاقَةً لَنَا فِي قَعْبٍ ، وَصَبَبْنَا عَلَيْهِ عَسَلًا نُكْرِمُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ ، فَلَمَّا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ نَاوَلْنَاهُ الْقَعْبَ ، فَلَمَّا ذَاقَهُ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ ! " قُلْنَا : لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا ، أَرَدْنَا نُكْرِمُكَ بِهِ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ : - " أَكْرَمَكَ اللَّهُ بِمَا أَكْرَمْتَنِي " . أَوْ دَعْوَةً هَذِهِ مَعْنَاهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَنِ اقْتَصَدَ أَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ ، وَمَنْ بَذَرَ أَفْقَرَهُ اللَّهُ ، وَمَنْ تَوَاضَعَ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ ، وَمَنْ تَجَبَّرَ قَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ " . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ مِمَّنْ أَعْرِفُهُ اثْنَانِ .
Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was walking along with us in Makkah while he was fasting, and the fast was hard on him. We milked a she-camel of ours for him into a bowl, and then, to honour the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the breaking of his fast, we mixed honey into it. When the sun set, we presented the bowl to him. When he tasted it, he gestured with his hand to ask: What is this? We said: Milk and honey; we wanted to honour you with it. (The narrator says: I think the narration has these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "May Allah Almighty honour you as you have honoured me." Or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said some other words of supplication like it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever adopts moderation, Allah Almighty makes him self-sufficient; whoever is wasteful, Allah Almighty makes him poor; whoever is humble, Allah Almighty raises him; and whoever is arrogant, Allah Almighty breaks him to pieces."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains two people whom I know.
