Sunan Abi Dawud 1699 (Book 9, Hadith 144) #21991
The Benefits of Giving Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) advised Asma, daughter of Abu Bakr, to give charity and not to hoard her wealth so that she will be provided with sustenance.

Asma, daughter of Abu Bakr, said : I said : Messenger of Allah(SAWS), I have nothing of my own except what al-Zubair (her husband) brings to me in his house: should I spend out of it? He said : Give and do not hoard so your sustenance will be hoarded.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ مَا أَدْخَلَ عَلَىَّ الزُّبَيْرُ بَيْتَهُ أَفَأُعْطِي مِنْهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَعْطِي وَلاَ تُوكِي فَيُوكِيَ عَلَيْكِ
