It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One dirham surpassed two dirhams." The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How is that?" He replied, "A man had only two dirhams, and he gave one of them in charity. Another man went to his vast wealth and took out one hundred thousand dirhams and gave them in charity."
