Abdullah ibn Amr ibn ‘As relates that a man asked the Holy Prophet. What in Islam is best? He answered: To feed people and to greet everyone with the greeting of peace whether you know them or not (Bokhari and Muslim).
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn ‘As relates that the Holy Prophet said: There are forty types of virtue (the highest of them being the loan of a she-camel yielding milk) whichever of them is practised in the hope of its reward and relying on its promise would lead its practitioner to Paradise (Bokhari).
Abu Umamah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Son of Adam, if you were to spend that which is spare it would be the better for you, and if you hold it back it would be the worse for you. You will not be blamed for keeping that which you need. Begin spending upon those who are dependent upon you (Tirmidhi). with the addition: The upper hand is better than the lower (Muslim).
Anas relates that whenever in Islam a person asked the Holy Prophet anything he gave it to him. A man came to him and he gave him a flock of sheep scattered over a valley. When he returned to his people he said to them: O my people, accept Islam for Muhammad bestows on a scale that leaves no fear of poverty. Even when a person became a Muslim out of a worldly motive, in a short while Islam became dearer to him than the world and all in it (Muslim).
Umar relates that the Holy Prophet distributed some property and I said to him: Messenger of Allah, the others were more deserving than these. He said they have given me a choice. Either they should ask me openly and I would give them, or they might ‘charge me with miserliness and I am not a miser (Muslim).
Jubair ibn Mut‘im relates that while he walked with the Holy Prophet during his return from Hunain some rustics caught hold of him and began asking him for a portion of the spoils. They pushed him under a tree and someone snatched away his cloak. The Holy Prophet came to a halt and said: Restore my cloak to me; had I at my disposal bounties of the number of the leaves of this thorny tree I would have distributed all of them among you and you would not have found me a miser, or a liar, or a coward (Bokhari).
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Wealth is not diminished by charity; Allah augments the honour of one who forgives, and one serves another for the sake of Allah but Allah exalts him in rank (Muslim).
Ayesha relates that they slaughtered a goat and distributed most of its meat. Then the Holy Prophet asked: Is any of it left? She answered: Nothing is left of it except a shank. He said: All of it is saved except the shank (Tirmidhi).
Amr ibn Sa‘ad Anmari relates that he heard the Holy Prophet say: Three things I can guarantee, and remember well what I am going to tell you: No one’s wealth is diminished by charity; Allah augments the honour of him who endures a wrong steadfastly; and no one starts begging but Allah inflicts poverty upon him. He also said: Remember well what I am going to tell you: The world is made up of four kinds of people: One, a person upon whom Allah bestows wealth and knowledge and he minds his duty to his Lord in respect of them, strengthens the ties of kinship and acknowledges the rights of Allah in them. Such a one is in the best position. Two, a person upon whom Allah bestows knowledge but no wealth and he is sincere and says: Had I" possessed wealth I would have acted like the other one; that is his resolve. His reward is the same as that of the other. Three, a person upon whom Allah bestows wealth but no knowledge and he squanders his weaith ignorantly, does not mind his duty to his Lord in respect of it, does not discharge the obligations of kinship and does not acknowledge the rights of Allah in it. Such a one is in the worst position. Four, a person upon whom Allah bestows neither wealth nor knowledge, and he says: Had I possessed wealth I would have acted like this one. This is his resolve. They are both equal in sinfulness (Tirmidhi).
