كتاب الزكاةThe Book of Zakat
باب فِي الْمُنْفِقِ وَالْمُمْسِكِ:Chapter: The one who spends and the one who withholds
وحَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ بِلَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَرِّدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يُصْبِحُ الْعِبَادُ فِيهِ ، إِلَّا مَلَكَانِ يَنْزِلَانِ ، فَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا : اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقًا خَلَفًا ، وَيَقُولُ الْآخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ : أَعْطِ مُمْسِكًا تَلَفًا " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is never a day wherein servants (of God) get up at morn, but are not visited by two angels. One of them says: O Allah, give him more who spends (for the sake of Allah), and the other says: O Allah, bring destruction to one who withholds.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: One who spends in accordance with the Shariah becomes deserving of the angel’s supplication every day, and one who is miserly and refrains from spending in legitimate circumstances receives the angel’s curse every day. As a result, he cannot become deserving of reward by spending his wealth at the proper time and place.
Rather, that wealth becomes a source of distress for him.
He receives people’s taunts, reproaches, and curses.
