[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Do not withhold the favor of water, and do not withhold food leftovers, as wealth will diminish and families will suffer from hunger."  

أحمد:٩٤٥٨حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَيْوَةَ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى غِفَارَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَمْنَعُوا فَضْلَ الْمَاءِ وَلَا تَمْنَعُوا الْكَلَأَ فَيَهْزُلَ الْمَالُ وَيَجُوعَ الْعِيَالُ
