Narrated Um Kulthum bint Uqba:

That she heard Allah's Apostle saying, "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar."

(Sahih_Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 49, Number 857)


*******************************


Abu Umamah (r.a.) reported: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "O son of Adam, if you spend the surplus, it will be better for you; and if you retain it, it will be evil for you. You will not be reprimanded for storing what is enough for your need. First of all spend upon those who are your dependents.''

Related by Tirmidhi. quoted from Riyad-us-Saliheen (Hadith # 510)

Commentary:
Time and time again, Allah and His Messenger (saws) have exhorted the believers to spend in the Cause and for the Pleasure of Allah the surplus wealth which is beyond their needs. The hoarding of wealth is absolutely detestable to Allah Subhanah.
In another narration the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "Indeed there is a right (for poor) in your wealth in addition to (the obligatory) Zakah.''
