What It Means: Reading in Context
Abu Huraira reports the Prophet conveying these words from Allah. Allah is the speaker in this hadith qudsi. The narration continues by describing the inexhaustibility of divine giving. It does not specify a financial return, amount or deadline for an individual donation. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 993a. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
