God's Prophet (a.s) said: “The most generous people are those who pay their alms tax. The most outstanding people are those who do not consider this world to be important. Stingy people have the least comfort. The stingiest people are those who are stingy about what God has prescribed.”
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): أسخى الناس من أدى زكاة ماله، وأعظم الناس في الدنيا خطرا من لم يجعل للدنيا عنده خطرا، وأقل الناس راحة البخيل، وأبخل الناس من بخل بما افترض الله عليه.
