Generosity and Calculations

SUMMARY: Spend generously and do not be stingy, as Allah will also calculate your deeds.

Asma', daughter of Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him), reported: The Messenger of Allah said to me: Spend, and do not calculate, or otherwise Allah would also calculate in your case.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ غِيَاثٍ - عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَنْفِقِي - أَوِ انْضَحِي أَوِ انْفَحِي - وَلاَ تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of spending generously and not being too calculating or stingy with one's wealth. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is telling us that if we are generous with our wealth, Allah will also be generous in His calculations for us on the Day of Judgment. We should strive to give charity whenever possible, even if it is a small amount, as it can have a great impact on our lives in this world and the hereafter. Additionally, we should remember that Allah knows best what is good for us and He will reward us accordingly for our generosity.

This hadith teaches us to be generous with our wealth but also to use wisdom when spending so that we do not become wasteful or careless with it either. We should strive to find a balance between these two values so that we can benefit from both in this life and the next. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that whatever good deeds we do in this life will be taken into account by Allah on the Day of Judgment; therefore, it is important for us to always strive to do good deeds no matter how small they may seem at first glance.
