Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنَفِقِي وَلَا تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَلَا تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ ارْضَخِي مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ»

Translation

Asma said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Spend, and do not count it, lest Allah count against you. Do not hoard, lest Allah withhold from you. Give whatever you can, even a little.’

Translation notes

  • The Arabic uses images of counting and withholding, followed by the instruction to give in small amounts as one is able; no collection attribution appears in this source passage.
