Daily Hadith Thu 01-Apr-2010 - 17 Rabbi al-Thanni 1431 حديث اليوم
Sustentation of the Members of the Family
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Two angels descend every morning, and one says: `O Allah, give him who spends something, in place of what he spends. The other one says: `O Allah, give destruction to him who withholds".[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
This Hadith provides justification to pray for virtuous people to get better than what they have spent, and to destroy the wealth of the niggardly who refuse to spend in the way of Allah.

باب النفقة على العيال
وعن أبي هريرةَ رضي اللَّهُ عنه أَن النبيَّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : « مَا مِنْ يوْمٍ يُصْبِحُ الْعِبَادُ فِيهِ إِلاَّ ملَكَانِ يَنْزلانِ ، فَيقولُ أَحدُهُما : اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقاً خَلفاً ، ويَقولُ الآخَرُ : اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُمْسِكاً تَلَفاً » متفقٌ عليه .
