The Rewards of Spending and Punishment of Withholding

SUMMARY: Allah rewards those who spend and punishes those who withhold.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "Two angels descend every morning, and one says: 'O Allah, give him who spends something, in place of what he spends'. The other one says: 'O Allah, give destruction to him who withholds". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن النبي قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ ما من يوم يصبح العباد فيه إلا ملكان ينزلان، فيقول أحدهما‏:‏ اللهم أعط منفقًا خلفًا، ويقول الآخر‏:‏ اللهم أعط ممسكًا تلفًا‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Spend your wealth for good causes such as charity or helping others in need
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of spending in the eyes of Allah. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that two angels descend every morning, one saying “O Allah, give him who spends something, in place of what he spends” and the other saying “O Allah, give destruction to him who withholds”. This hadith teaches us that spending is a virtue which will be rewarded by Allah while withholding is a sin which will be punished by Him. We should always strive to spend our wealth for good causes such as charity or helping others in need as this will bring us closer to God and earn His blessings. On the other hand, we should avoid hoarding our wealth as it can lead to destruction both in this world and hereafter.
