Be generous with your wealth and help those who need it even if you don't have to give it yet. Ask for advice from knowledgeable people when making decisions about important matters like charity.

This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's permission for people to pay their zakat, or charity, ahead of time. Zakat is a form of worship that Muslims must do every year by giving a certain percentage of their wealth to those who are less fortunate than them. In this hadith, Al-Abbas asked the Prophet if he could pay his zakat before it was due and the Prophet gave him permission to do so. This teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth and help those who need it even if we don't have to give it yet. It also shows us that we should always ask for advice from knowledgeable people when making decisions about important matters like charity.
