Hadith Commentary:

Benefits and Issues:
The highest and most elevated status for a wealthy person is that he continues to spend his wealth, rather than hoarding or accumulating it. However, attaining this highest rank is not within the capacity of every wealthy individual. Therefore, this is merely an encouragement and a recommended (mustahabb) matter; it is not obligatory or necessary.
