swear and give you news of one thing; remember it. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: The wealth of a person does not decrease by giving Sadaqah and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ increases the respect of the one who remains patient on [facing] oppression, and no one opens the door of begging for (himself), but Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ opens a door of beggary (Faqeeri) for him and I am telling you one more thing; remember it. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: The world is comprised of four types of people:

1     The person who Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ blesses with wealth and knowledge, in which he fears Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ (and performs good deeds) and treats his relatives well and in which he recognizes the right of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ (i.e. he pays Sadaqah and Zakah); this person is in the best rank.

2      The person who Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has blessed with knowledge, but not wealth, says with a sincere intention: If I had wealth, I would act as so and so [like the first one] does, he will get the reward for his intention and the Sawab (reward) of both of them (this person and the person mentioned first) is equal.

3     The person who Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ blesses with wealth, but not knowledge, so he spends his money without thinking, he does not fear Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ regarding it; he does not treat his relatives well, and nor does he recognise the rights of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ (does not pay Sadaqah and Zakah) regarding it; this person has the worst rank.

4      The person who Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has neither blessed with wealth nor knowledge says: If I had wealth I would spend it like so and so [like the third person]; he will get the return for his intention and the sin of both of them [the third and the fourth person] is equal.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed the people who spend some of their wealth for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Similarly, about the fortunate people who cannot spend money due to being poor, but have the desire to spend in
