Al-Ala bin Abdur Rahman says that giving charity does not decrease or diminish wealth, and the servant who keeps forgiving, his honor increases, and whoever shows humility, Allah the Exalted raises his rank even higher.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I do not know whether this hadith is marfu‘ (attributed) up to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or not.
