Among the Concise Words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)
وَ سُئِلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: مَا حَدُّ اَلسَّخَاءِ قَالَ "تُخْرِجُ مِنْ مَالِكَ اَلْحَقَّ اَلَّذِي أَوْجَبَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكَ فَتَضَعُهُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ".
Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked: "What is the definition of generosity?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is to give from your wealth the rightful dues that Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, has obligated upon you, and to place it in its appropriate place."
