Generosity of the Greatest Prophet ﷺ
We should also strive to earn lawful sustenance instead of chasing after the world excessively and accumulating wealth through unlawful means. We should also regularly give charity and help our relatives, neighbours, and other needy people financially. Indeed, Allah Almighty helps those who help others, and wealth given in the path of Allah Almighty increases rather than decreases.
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Charity does not decrease wealth, Allah increases the honour of a bondsman who forgives, and whoever humbles themselves for the sake of Allah, He elevates them.” [1]
Did not prefer to keep wealth:
The Rasool of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the Most Generous and Kind صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had such a level of selflessness that he did not prefer to keep wealth in his blessed house but would immediately give it in charity. Once, after performing Asr prayer, he quickly went home and then returned. The Companions رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُم were surprised! The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم explained that he remembered during prayer that there was some gold intended for charity left at home, and he did not like that night would fall while it remained there, so he went home and instructed to distribute it.[2]
Hazrat Abu Dharr رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates:
One day, I was with the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and when he saw Mount Uhud, he said, “If this mountain were to turn into gold for me, I would not like that even a single dinar remains with me for more than three days, except for the portion I keep for repaying debts.”[3]
