Sayyida Asma bint Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Whenever she spent something, she used to count it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Spend without counting, otherwise Allah the Exalted will also give to you by counting, and do not tie the mouth of (your money pouch), otherwise Allah the Exalted will also tie the mouth (of your money pouch) when giving to you.

Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Amr! The best wealth is the righteous wealth that is in the possession of a righteous man." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Ali bin Rabah heard this narration from Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he heard this narration from Abu Qais on the authority of Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him); both of these chains are preserved.

Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Amr! Fasten your weapons and clothes upon yourself." The narrator says: I did so, then I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I found him performing ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and looked me up and down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Amr! I want to send you on a mission. May Allah keep you safe and grant you spoils of war, and I will also give you a share from the spoils." The narrator says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I did not accept Islam out of interest in wealth; rather, I accepted Islam to participate in jihad and to be with you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Amr! Wealth is very good when it is pure and in the hands of a righteous man."

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: During the illness in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he said: O Aisha! What happened to that gold? Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I replied, It is with me. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring it to me. It was seven or five (uqiyah). I brought it and placed it in the palm of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he said: What would Muhammad think of Allah if he were to meet Allah in such a state that this (gold) is with him? You should spend it.

Abu Umamah bin Sahl narrates: I and Urwah bin Zubair went to the service of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She said: I wish you had seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on that day when he was ill. At that time, six or perhaps seven dinars were with me belonging to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to spend them, but due to the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I could not do so, until Allah Almighty improved his health. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired about them from me, so I replied: No, by Allah! Due to your illness, I could not spend them. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had them brought and placed them on his palm, then he said: What would the Prophet of Allah think if he were to appear before Allah in such a state that these were still with him?

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying this: "I do not like that I should have gold equal to the mountain of Uhud with me, and then after three days, even a single dinar remains with me, except that which I have kept aside for the repayment of a debt."

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates this saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): Indeed, the world is lush and sweet. If we give something from it with our own pleasure and without the greed of the receiver, and there is no evil of the soul in it, then there will be blessing in that thing for the person. But if we give it without our own pleasure and the receiver's greed is also involved, then there will be no blessing in it for him.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you pay the zakat of your wealth, you have fulfilled the obligatory duty upon you. And whoever gathers wealth in a forbidden manner and then gives it in charity, he will not receive its reward; rather, its burden will remain upon him."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“(In terms of coming into the world) we are the last, but on the Day of Resurrection we will be the first. (In terms of wealth and riches in the world) those who have abundance (in the Hereafter, in terms of reward and recompense) will be of lesser status, except for the person who says to his right, to his left, behind him, in front of him, like this and like this, and spreads his garment (i.e., spends his wealth in the way of Allah).”

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May the slave of the dinar, the slave of the dirham, the slave of the cloak, and the slave of the shirt be ruined; if he is given something, he is pleased, and if he is not given, he becomes displeased."
