Sunan Ibn Majah 197 (Book) #37099
The Hands of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah's right hand is full and never affected by continuous spending, while his left hand holds a scale which he raises and lowers. Allah has spent since he created the heavens and the earth, but this has not decreased what is in his hands.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: The Prophet said: "The Right Hand of Allah is full and that is never affected by the continuous spending, night and day. In His other Hand, is the Scale, which He raises and lowers. Have you seen what Allah has spent since He created the heavens and the earth? And that has not decreased what is in His Hands in the slightest'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَمِينُ اللَّهِ مَلأَى لاَ يَغِيضُهَا شَىْءٌ سَحَّاءُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ وَبِيَدِهِ الأُخْرَى الْمِيزَانُ يَرْفَعُ الْقِسْطَ وَيَخْفِضُهُ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ مَا أَنْفَقَ مُنْذُ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِمَّا فِي يَدَيْهِ شَيْئًا

On the other hand, He holds a scale which He uses to raise or lower according to His will.

We should also strive to be generous with whatever resources we have been blessed with so that we may receive even more blessings from our Lord!
