Whenever the exigency calls for it, sadaqah other than zakah is given. That could be before the completion of the year (hawl)
or after the payment of zakah. The contribution is not based on a specific amount of nisab but on the ability to give. Thus, if
someone possesses only a loaf of bread and sees a person who is more hard-pressed than himself, he should give it to that
person. The hard-pressed person is not the only one who has a right to be satisfied, but Allah has also ordered the believers
to give non-prescribed sadaqat to the following: kin, orphans, needy, wayfarers, beggars, and slaves.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 8.449 Narrated by
Abdullah
The Prophet said, "Who among you considers the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?" They replied, "O
Allah's Apostle! There is none among us but loves his own wealth more." The Prophet said, "So his wealth is whatever he
spends (in Allah's Cause) during his life (on good deeds) while the wealth of his heirs is whatever he leaves after his death."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 3.511
Anas bin Malik
Narrated by
Abu Talha was the richest man in Medina amongst the Ansar and Beeruha' (garden) was the most beloved of his property,
and it was situated opposite the mosque (of the Prophet.). Allah's Apostle used to enter it and drink from its sweet water.
When the following Divine verses were revealed: "You will not attain righteousness till you spend in charity of the things you
love" (3.93), Abu Talha got up in front of Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allah says in His Book, 'You will not
attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) that which you love,' and verily, the most beloved to me of my property is
Beeruha (garden), so I give it in charity and hope for its reward from Allah. O Allah's Apostle! Spend it wherever you like."
Allah's Apostle appreciated that and said, "That is perishable wealth, that is perishable wealth. I have heard what you have
said; I suggest you to distribute it among your relatives." Abu Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Apostle." So, Abu Talha
distributed it among his relatives and cousins. The sub-narrator (Malik) said: The Prophet said: "That is a profitable wealth,"
instead of "perishable wealth".
Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 17.22
Wealth which has been Hidden Away (Kanz)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abu's-Salih as-Samman that Abu Hurayra used to say, "Anyone
who has wealth on which he has not paid zakat will, on the day of rising, find his wealth made to resemble a whiteheaded
serpent with a sac of venom in each cheek which will seek him out until it has him in its power, saying, 'I am the wealth that
you had hidden away.' "
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 5290 Narrated by
One of the companions of the Prophet
When we were sitting together, Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) appeared with a trace of water on his head, and
when we told him that he appeared to us to be in a happy frame of mind, he agreed. The people then began to discuss
wealth and Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "There is no harm in wealth for him who fears Allah, Who is Great
and Glorious, but for him who fears Allah health is better than wealth, and a happy frame of mind is one of Allah's favours."
Ahmad transmitted it.

Narrated by
Al Mughira bin Shuba
The Prophet said, "Allah has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) to not
to pay the rights of the others (e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain,
useless talk, or that you talk too much about others, (2) to ask too many questions, (in disputed religious matters) and (3) to
waste the wealth (by extravagance).
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 2.493
Abu Huraira
Narrated by
The Prophet said, "The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till your wealth increases so much so that one will be
worried, for no one will accept his Zakat and the person to whom he will give it will reply, 'I am not in need of it.' "
