باب التواضع وخفض الجناح للمؤمنين
وعَنْ أبي هريرة رضي اللَّه عنه أَن رسول اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : « ما نَقَصَتْ صَدقَةٌ من مالٍ ، وما زاد اللَّه عَبداً بِعَفوٍ إِلاَّ عِزّاً ، ومَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ للَّهِ إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ » رواه مسلم.

Modesty and Courtesy towards the Believers
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Wealth does not diminish by giving Sadaqah (charity). Allah augments the honour of one who forgives; and one who serves another seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah will exalt him in ranks."[Muslim].


Commentary:
Apparently giving in Sadaqah (charity) decreases wealth, but Allah fairly compensates an almsgiver by increasing his wealth. Otherwise, he is sure to receive the best recompense in the Hereafter which will make good his loss. Or, Allah blesses the rest of his wealth in such a way that the sense of loss is removed from his mind. As for a lenient and humble attitude, it is sometimes mistaken by man for his humiliation. But Messenger of Allah (PBUH) calls such an impression as erroneous. Indeed, humility increases his honour and dignity. And as regards the Hereafter, the best reward is bound to accrue to him when he will be blessed with spiritual heights.
