Sunan Ibn Majah 4163 (Book 37, Hadith 64) #33519
The Rewards of Spending

SUMMARY: A person will be rewarded for all their spending, except for what they spend on dust or building.

It was narrated that Harithah bin Mudarrib said: "We came to Khabbab to visit him (when he was sick), and he said: 'I have been sick for a long time, and were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Do not wish for death," I would have wished for it.’ And he said: "A person will be rewarded for all his spending, except for (what he spends) on dust," or he said, "on building".
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ طَالَ سُقْمِي وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ لاَ تَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلاَّ فِي التُّرَابِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ فِي الْبِنَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the rewards of spending. It was narrated by Harithah bin Mudarrib that he and his companions visited Khabbab when he was sick. Khabbab said that if it wasn't for the Prophet Muhammad's saying not to wish for death, he would have wished for it. He then said that a person will be rewarded for all their spending, except what they spend on dust or building. This means that whatever a person spends in good deeds and charity will be rewarded by Allah, but not if it is spent on something like dust or building materials which are not considered acts of worship or charity. This hadith teaches us to use our money wisely and to focus our efforts on doing good deeds which can benefit others as well as ourselves in this life and the hereafter.
