Generosity in the Last Phase of Time

SUMMARY: In the last phase of time, there will be a caliph who will distribute wealth without counting it.

Abu Sa'id and Jabir b. Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger said: There would be in the last phase of the time a caliph who would distribute wealth but would not count.
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالاَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ خَلِيفَةٌ يَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ وَلاَ يَعُدُّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about generosity in the last phase of time. It is reported by Abu Sa'id and Jabir b. Abdullah that Allah's Messenger said that there would be a caliph in the last phase of time who would distribute wealth without counting it. This means that he will give out wealth generously, not worrying about how much he has left or how much he is giving away. This teaches us to be generous with our resources and to help those around us who are in need, even if we don't have enough for ourselves. We should also remember to ask for help when we need it, as Allah is always willing to provide assistance (Isti'ana). Doing good deeds such as this brings us closer to Allah and earns us His blessings (Khair).
