Mishkat al-Masabih 1861

Asma’ reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, "Spend, do not calculate and so have Allah calculating against you, do not hoard and so have Allah hoarding from you, but give such small amounts as you can.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنَفِقِي وَلَا تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَلَا تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ ارْضَخِي مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ»
