Sahih al-Bukhari 3120 (Book 57, Hadith 29) #2983
Spending Money in Allah's Cause

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of spending money in Allah's cause and that Khosrau and Caesar will not have successors.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "When Khosrau is ruined, there will be no Khosrau after him; and when Caesar is ruined, there will be no Caesar after him. By Him in Whose Hands my life is, you will spend their treasures in Allah's Cause".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى فَلاَ كِسْرَى بَعْدَهُ، وَإِذَا هَلَكَ قَيْصَرُ فَلاَ قَيْصَرَ بَعْدَهُ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَتُنْفِقُنَّ كُنُوزَهُمَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Huraira, speaks about the importance of spending money in Allah's cause. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that when two powerful rulers, Khosrau and Caesar, are ruined there will be no successors to them. He then swore by Him in Whose Hands his life is that we should spend their treasures in Allah's cause. This hadith teaches us to use our wealth for good causes such as charity or helping those who are less fortunate than us. It also reminds us of the impermanence of worldly possessions and how they can be taken away from us at any time without warning. We should therefore use our wealth wisely while we still have it so that it can benefit others as well as ourselves.
