36:47 - And when they are told "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you." You
Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom if Allah had so willed He would
have fed (himself)? Ye are in nothing but manifest error." 39943995
47:38 - Behold ye are those invited to spend (of your substance) in the way of Allah: but among you
are some that are niggardly. But any who are niggardly are so at the expense of their own
souls. But Allah is free of all wants and it is ye that are needy. If ye turn back (from the Path)
He will substitute in your stead another people; then they would not be like you! 48644865
4864 Here the case of the special devotee and of the average man with his human foibles are distinguished. Stinginess is
not a virtue: it hurts more the finer-nature of the individual practising it that it hurts the Cause. Allah is free of all wants
and independent of any need that we can meet. His Cause is similarly independent of human aid. But it uses human
agency for our own human advancement. The need to be able to serve Allah's cause is ours. We are the needy
beggars who should claim the privilege before the Lord of Bounties unbounded. (47.38)
63:10 - And spend something (in charity) out of the substance which We have bestowed on you
before death should come to any of you and he should say "O my Lord! why didst thou not
give me respite for a little while? I should then have given (largely) in charity and I should have
been one of the doers of good." 5477
5477 "Substance" or "Sustenance". Whatever good we enjoy comes from Allah, and it is our duty to use some of it in the
service of others, for that is Charity and the service of Allah. Every unselfish act is Charity. And we must not postpone
our good resolutions to the future. Death may come suddenly on us, and we cannot then be allowed to plead for more
time. Every present moment calls urgently for its good deed. (63.10)
64:16 - So fear Allah as much as ye can; listen and obey; and spend in charity for the benefit of
your own souls: and those saved from the covetousness of their own souls they are the ones
that achieve prosperity. 549754985499

AbuHurayrah
Narrated by
The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded to give sadaqah. A man said: Apostle of Allah, I have a dinar. He said: Spend
it on yourself. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your children. He again said: I have another. He said:
Spend it on your wife. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your servant. He finally said: I have another. He
replied: You know best (what to do with it).

Hadith Qudsi 11
Spend (on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4293
Anas ibn Malik
Narrated by
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The people will establish cities, Anas, and one of them will be called al-Basrah or al-
Busayrah. If you should pass by it or enter it, avoid its salt-marshes, its Kall, its market, and the gate of its commanders, and
keep to its environs, for the earth will swallow some people up, pelting rain will fall and earthquakes will take place in it, and
there will be people who will spend the night in it and become apes and swine in the morning.
SPENDTHRIFT:
17:26 - And render to the kindred their due rights as (also) to those in want and to the wayfarer: but
squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. 22082209
2208 In the Jewish Decalogue, which was given to a primitive and hard-hearted people, this refinement of Kindness,-to
those in want and to wayfarers (i.e., total strangers whom you come across) finds no place. Nor was there much
danger of their wasting their substance out of exuberance. Even the command "to honour thy father and mother"
comes after the ceremonial observance of the Sabbath. With us, the worship of Allah is linked up with kindness-to
parents, kindred, those in want, those who are far from their homes though they may be total strangers to us. It is not
mere verbal kindness. They have certain rights which must be fulfilled. (17.26)
2209 All charity , kindness, and help are conditioned by our own resources. There is no merit if we merely spend out of
bravado or for idle show. How many families are ruined by extravagant expenses at weddings, funerals, etc., or (as
