700—Ahmad ibn Ubayd informed us; he said: Ali ibn Abd Allah ibn Mubashshir informed us; he said: Ahmad ibn Sinan narrated to us; he said: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn Ishaq informed us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“Allah’s right hand is full; expenditure does not diminish it. He gives abundantly by night and by day.”

And he said to us: “Have you considered all that He has spent since He created the heavens and the earth? Yet that which is in His right hand has not diminished. His Throne is above it, and in His other hand is the Scale, which He raises and lowers.”
