Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم preached and said: Abstain from avarice, for those who had been before you were annihilated due to avarice. It (avarice) commanded them to show niggardliness; it commanded them to cut off their relationship with their nearest relatives, so they cut off. It commanded them to show profligacy, so they showed it.

Asma, daughter of Abu Bakr, said: I said: Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , I have nothing of my own except what al-Zubair (her husband) brings to me in his house: should I spend out of it? He said: Give and do not hoard so your sustenance will be hoarded.

Abu Mulaykah reported: Aishah counted a number of indigents. Abu Dawud said: The other version has: She counted a number of sadaqahs. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Give and do not calculate, so calculation will be made against you.
