Allah's reward it is regarded as Sadaqa for him."
7.264:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'O
son of Adam! Spend, and I shall spend on you."

7.266:
Narrated Sa`d:
The Prophet visited me at Mecca while I was ill. I said (to
him), "I have property; May I bequeath all my property in
Allah's Cause?" He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said,
"No." I said, "One third of it?" He said, "One−third (is
alright), yet it is still too much, for you'd better leave
your inheritors wealthy than leave them poor, begging of
others. Whatever you spend will be considered a Sadaqa for
you, even the mouthful of food you put in the mouth of your
wife. Anyhow Allah may let you recover, so that some people
may benefit by you and others be harmed by you."

better than a taking one, and you should start first to
support your dependents.' A wife says, 'You should either
provide me with food or divorce me.' A slave says, 'Give me
food and enjoy my service." A son says, "Give me food; to whom
do you leave me?" The people said, "O Abu Huraira! Did you
hear that from Allah's Apostle ?" He said, "No, it is from my
own self." 7.269:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The best alms is
that which you give when you are rich, and you should start
first to support your dependants."

Narrated `Umar:

7.271:
Narrated Malik bin Aus bin Al−Hadathan: Once I set out to
visit `Umar (bin Al−Khattab). (While I was sitting there with
him his gate−keeper, Yarfa, came and said, "Uthman
`AbdurRahman (bin `Auf), Az−Zubair and Sa`d (bin Abi Waqqas)
are seeking permission (to meet you)." `Umar said, "Yes. So he
admitted them and they entered, greeted, and sat down. After a
short while Yarfa came again and said to `Umar 'Shall I admit
`Ali and `Abbas?" `Umar said, "Yes." He admitted them and when
they entered, they greeted and sat down. `Abbas said, "O Chief
of the Believers! Judge between me and this (`Ali)." The
group, `Uthman and his companions Sa`d, 'O Chief of the
Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other."
`Umar said. Wait! I beseech you by Allah, by Whose permission
both the Heaven and the Earth stand fast ! Do you know that
Allah's Apostle said. 'We (Apostles) do not bequeath anything
to our heirs, but whatever we leave is to be given in
charity.' And by that Allah's Apostles meant himself?" The
group said, "He did say so." `Umar then turned towards 'All
and `Abbas and said. "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know
that Allah's Apostle said that?" They said, 'Yes " `Umar said,
"Now, let me talk to you about this matter. Allah favored His
Apostle with something of this property (war booty) which He
did not give to anybody else. And Allah said:−− 'And what
Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (as Fai Booty) from them for
which you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry .
. . Allah is Able to do all things.' (59.6) So this property
was especially granted to Allah's Apostle. But by Allah he
neither withheld it from you, nor did he keep it for himself
and deprive you of it, but he gave it all to you and
distributed it among you till only this remained out of it.
And out of this property Allah's Apostle used to provide his
family with their yearly needs, and whatever remained, he
would spend where Allah's Property (the revenues of Zakat)
used to be spent. Allah's Apostle kept on acting like this
throughout his lifetime. Now I beseech you by Allah, do you
know that?" They said, "Yes." Then `Umar said to `Ali and
`Abbas, "I beseech you by Allah, do you both know that?" They
said, "Yes." `Umar added, "When Allah had taken His Apostle
unto Him, Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Allah's
Apostle. So he took charge of that property and did with it
the same what Allah's Apostle used to do, and both of you knew
all about it then." Then `Umar turned towards `Ali and `Abbas
and said, "You both claim that Abu− Bakr was so−and−so! But
Allah knows that he was honest, sincere, pious and right (in
that matter). Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die, and I said,
'I am the successor of Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr.' So I
kept this property in my possession for the first two years of
my rule, and I used to do the same with it as Allah's Apostle
and Abu Bakr used to do. Later both of you (`Ali and `Abbas)
came to me with the same claim and the same problem. (O
`Abbas!) You came to me demanding your share from (the
inheritance of) the son of your brother, and he (`Ali) came to
me demanding his wives share from (the inheritance of) her
father. So I said to you, 'If you wish I will hand over this
property to you, on condition that you both promise me before
Allah that you will manage it in the same way as Allah's
Apostle and Abu Bakr did, and as I have done since the
beginning of my rule; otherwise you should not speak to me
about it.' So you both said, 'Hand over this property to us on
this condition.' And on this condition I handed it over to
you. I beseech you by Allah, did I hand it over to them on
that condition?" The group said, "Yes." `Umar then faced `Ali
and `Abbas and said, "I beseech you both by Allah, did I hand
it over to you both on that condition?" They both said, "Yes."
`Umar added, "Do you want me now to give a decision other than
that? By Him with Whose permission (order) both the Heaven and
the Earth stand fast, I will never give any decision other
than that till the Hour is established! But if you are unable
to manage it (that property), then return it to me and I will
be sufficient for it on your behalf . "
