Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

flounders about in his wealth without knowledge; he shows no fear of his Lord in the way he handles it, maintains no ties of kinship through it, and acknowledges no right of Allah in it. Such a person occupies the foulest station. And fourth: a servant to whom Allah has granted neither wealth nor knowledge. He says, “If I had wealth, I would act with it as so-and-so does.” He is judged by his intention, and the burden of sin is the same for both of them.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who said: a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ (sound and authentic) hadith.

563 – ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that they once slaughtered a sheep. The Prophet ﷺ asked, “What is left of it?” She replied, “Nothing remains of it except its shoulder.” He said, “All of it remains, except its shoulder.” Reported by al-Tirmidhī, who said: an authentic hadith.
Its meaning is that they had given it all away in charity except the shoulder; thus he meant that everything has been stored up for us in the Hereafter apart from its shoulder.

564 – Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr al-Ṣiddīq (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me, “Do not withhold (1), or it will be withheld from you.”
In another wording: “Give, or be generous, or scatter; do not count (2), or Allah will count against you; and do not store up, or Allah will store up against you.” Agreed upon.
“Anfaḥī,” with a soft ḥāʾ, means “spend,” and so does “anḍaḥī.”

565 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “The likeness of the miser and the generous giver is that of two men wearing suits of iron mail that cover them from their chests (3) up to their collarbones. Whenever the generous man spends, his mail expands—or grows ample—over his skin until it conceals his fingertips and effaces the trace of his steps. But when the miser intends to spend anything, every single ring of the mail clings….”

(1) That is: do not hoard what you have or withhold what is in your hand; the phrase “fayuwki ʿalayk” means that Allah will cut off your livelihood. (2) In other words, do not keep money back and store it away; “wa-la tuʿi” means do not deny to those in need the surplus that is beyond your own requirements. (3) “Athdiy” is the plural of thady (breast); “ilā tarāqīhimā” employs the plural tarquwa (collarbone), the bone between the hollow of the throat and the shoulder on each side.
يَخْبِطُ فِي مَالِهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ، لَا يَتَّقِي فِيهِ رَبَّهُ ، وَلَا يَصِلُ فِيهِ رَحِمَهُ ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ لِلَّهِ فِيهِ حَقًّا ، فَهَذَا بِأَخْبَثِ الْمَنَازِلِ . وَعَبْدٌ لَمْ يَرْزُقْهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا وَلَا عِلْمًا ، فَهُوَ يَقُولُ : لَوْ أَنَّ لِي مَالًا لَعَمِلْتُ فِيهِ بِعَمَلِ فُلَانٍ ، فَهُوَ بِنِيَّتِهِ ، فَوِزْرُهُمَا سَوَاءٌ» رواه الترمذي ، وقال : حديث حسن صحيح . ٥٦٣ - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها ، أَنَّهُمْ ذَبَحُوا شَاةً ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ : « مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا ؟ » قَالَتْ : مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا كَتِفُهَا . قَالَ : « بَقِيَ كُلُّهَا غَيْرُ كَتِفِهَا » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث صحيح . ومعناه : تَصَدَّقُوا بِهَا إِلَّا كَتِفَهَا . فَقَالَ : بَقِيَتْ لَنَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَتِفَهَا . ٥٦٤ - وعن أسماء بنت أبي بكر الصديق رضي الله عنهما قالت : قال لي رسول الله ﷺ : « لَا تُوَكِّي (١) فَيُوَكَّي عَلَيْكِ » . وفي رواية : « أَنْفِقِي أَوِ انْفَحِي ، أَوْ أَنْضَحِي ، وَلَا تُحْصِي (٢) فَيُحْصِي اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ ، وَلَا تُوعِي فَيُوعِي اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ » متفق عليه . و« انْفَحِي » بالحاء المهملة ، وهو بمعنى « أَنْفِقِي » وكذلك « أَنْضَحِي » . ٥٦٥ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، أنه سمع رسول الله ﷺ يقول : « مَثَلُ الْبَخِيلِ وَالْمُنْفِقِ ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُنَّتَانِ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ مِنْ ثُدِيِّهِمَا (٣) إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا ، فَأَمَّا الْمُنْفِقُ فَلَا يُنْفِقُ إِلَّا سَبَغَتْ - أَوْ وَفَرَتْ - عَلَى جِلْدِهِ حَتَّى تُخْفِيَ بَنَانَهُ ، وَتَعْفُوَ أَثَرَهُ ، وَأَمَّا الْبَخِيلُ ، فَلَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا لَزِقَتْ كُلُّ حَلْقَةٍ
(١) أي : لا تدخري ما عندك وتمنعي ما في يدك ( فيوكي عليك ) أي : فيقطع الله عليك مادة الرزق . (٢) أي : لا تمسكي المال وتدخريه . ( ولا توعي ) أي : تمنعي ما فضل عنك عمن هو محتاج إليه . (٣) جمع ثدي ، ( إلى تراقيهما ) جمع ترقوة وهي : العظم الذي بين ثغرة النحر والعائق من الجانبين .
