وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنْ تَبْذُلِ الْفَضْلَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ وَإِنْ تُمْسِكْهُ شَرٌّ لَكَ وَلَا تُلَامُ عَلَى كَفَافٍ وَابْدَأْ بِمن تعول» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

Abu Umama said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Son of Adam, giving away your surplus is better for you, and withholding it is worse for you. You are not blamed for keeping enough to meet your needs. Begin with those for whom you are responsible.’ Muslim transmitted it.
