Mutarrif narrated from his father, that he met up with the Prophet (s.a.w) while he was saying: "The mutual increase diverts you". He (s.a.w) said: "The son of Adam says:'My wealth, my wealth, but is there something for you from your wealth besides what you give in charity that remains, or you eat which perishes, or what you wear that grows worn?"

Abu Umamah narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "O son of Adam! If you give your surplus it is better for you, and if you keep it, it is worse for you, but there is no harm with what is sufficient. And begin(the giving) with your dependents, and the upper hand (giving) is better than the lower hand (receiving)."

'Umar bin Al-Khattab narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "If you were to rely upon Allah with the required reliance, then He would provide for you just as a bird is provided for, it goes out in the morning empty, and returns full."

Anas bin Malik narrated: "There were two brothers during the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). One of them used to come to the prophet (s.a.w), and the other had some business. The businessman among them complained to the Prophet (s.a.w) about his brother, so he said:'Perhaps you are provided for because of him.'"

Salamah bin 'Ubaidullah bin Mihsan Al-Khatmi narrated from his father -and he was a Companion- who said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever among you wakes up in the morning secured in his dwelling, healthy in his body, having his food for the day,then it is as if the world has been gathered for him.'"

‘With this chain also,’ a similar hadith is narrated from Ubaydullah bin Mihsan Khatmi (may Allah be pleased with him). In this chapter, there is also a narration from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him).

Abu Umamah narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Indeed the best of my friends to me is the one of meager conditions, whose share is in Salat, worshipping his Lord well and obeying him (even) in private. He is obscure among the people such that the fingers are not pointed towards him. His provisions are only what is sufficient and he is patient with that." Then he tapped with his fingers and said: "His death comes quickly, his mourners are few, and his inheritance is little."With this (the above), chain it is narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "My Lord presented to me, that He would make the valley of Makkah into gold for me, I said: 'No O Lord! But being filled for a day and hungry for a day"-or he said: "three days" or something like that- "So when I am hungry, I would beseech You and remember You, and when I am full I would be grateful to You and praise You."

With this same chain, it is further narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "My Lord presented to me the option that the stony ground of Makkah be turned into gold, but I said: No, O my Lord! I wish that I may be content one day and hungry the next," or he said: "three days," or he said something similar to this. "So when I am hungry, I will humble myself before You and express my need to You and remember You, and when I am content, I will give thanks to You and praise You."

Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan (good).
2- In this chapter, it is also narrated from Fadala bin Ubaid, and Qasim is Qasim bin Abdur Rahman, whose kunyah is Abu Abdur Rahman. It is also said that his kunyah is Abu Abdul Malik. He is the freed slave of Abdur Rahman bin Khalid bin Yazid bin Muawiyah, he is a Shami, and he is trustworthy.
3- Ali bin Yazid is weak in narrating hadith. His kunyah is Abu Abdul Malik.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "He has succeeded who accepts Islam, and is provided with what is sufficient and is made content by Allah."

Fadalah bin 'Ubaid narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: "Glad tidings to whoever is guided to Islam, his livelihood was sufficient and he was satisfied."
