Spending in Allah's Cause

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised not to be stingy with money and to spend as much as one can afford in Allah's cause.

Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: that she had gone to the Prophet and he said, "Do not shut your money bag; otherwise Allah too will withhold His blessings from you. Spend (in Allah's Cause) as much as you can afford".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ، ارْضَخِي مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ

Spend generously in Allah's cause
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about spending money for the sake of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised not to be stingy with money and to spend as much as one can afford in Allah's cause. He also mentioned that if we do not open our wallets and give generously then Allah will also withhold His blessings from us. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to give charity and help those who are less fortunate than us. We should remember that whatever wealth we have is a blessing from God so it is important for us to use it wisely by giving back some of it in charity or helping others who need it more than us.
