Sahih Muslim 1029b (Book 12, Hadith 113) #9512
Generosity Rewarded by Allah

SUMMARY: Spend generously and do not be stingy, as Allah will take care of your needs.

Asma' reported Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying (to her): Spend and do not calculate, (for) Allah would calculate in your case; and do not hoard, otherwise Allah would be withholding from you.
وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي، مُعَاوِيَةَ - قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ، - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ، وَعَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ انْفَحِي - أَوِ انْضَحِي أَوْ أَنْفِقِي - وَلاَ تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَلاَ تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ

Spend generously

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of spending generously and not being stingy. It encourages us to trust in Allah that He will provide for our needs if we are generous with our wealth. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is telling us that if we spend without calculating or hoarding, then Allah will calculate for us and give us what we need. This hadith teaches us to have faith in God’s plan and to be generous with our wealth, even if it means sacrificing something for the sake of others. We should remember that whatever we give away, whether it is money or time, will come back to us in some way from God’s blessings.
