It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: O son of Adam! If you spend wealth, it is better for you, and if you withhold it, it is worse for you. However, you will not be blamed for moderation, and begin spending on those who are under your responsibility, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand.
