وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ: "مَا مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ نَفَقَةِ قَصْدٍ وَ يُبْغِضُ اَلْإِسْرَافَ إِلاَّ فِي اَلْحَجِّ وَ اَلْعُمْرَةِ فَرَحِمَ اَللَّهُ مُؤْمِناً كَسَبَ طَيِّباً وَ أَنْفَقَ مِنْ قَصْدٍ أَوْ قَدَّمَ فَضْلاً ".
Ibn Abi Ya'fur narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'There is no spending more beloved to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, than moderate spending. He سبحانه وتعالى dislikes extravagance, except in Hajj and Umrah. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on a believer who earns lawfully, spends moderately, or gives something in charity from his surplus.' "
