Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How should I give charity?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you are healthy and stingy, hoping for life and fearing poverty, and do not delay to the extent that when your soul reaches your throat, you say: My wealth is for so-and-so and for so-and-so, for it has already become theirs."
