[Machine] "And whoever gives in charity while they themselves are in need, or their family is in need, or they have a debt, then the debt is more deserving to be paid off than charity, freeing slaves, or giving gifts. It is a form of returning the favor and they should not waste people's wealth. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever takes people's wealth with the intention of destroying it, Allah will destroy him.' However, if they are known for patience and prioritize themselves, even if they have special circumstances, like what Abu Bakr did when he gave in charity from his own wealth, or what the Ansar did with the Muhajireen, the Prophet ﷺ prohibited wasting wealth, so he cannot waste people's wealth under the pretext of charity. Ka'b said: 'O Messenger of Allah, part of my repentance is to give in charity to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ from my wealth.' He said: 'Hold on to some of your wealth, as it is better for you.' I said: 'But I have the arrow I had in Khaybar.'

وَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَهْوَ مُحْتَاجٌ، أَوْ أَهْلُهُ مُحْتَاجٌ، أَوْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَالدَّيْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَالْعِتْقِ وَالْهِبَةِ، وَهْوَ رَدٌّ عَلَيْهِ، لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُتْلِفَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَنْ أَخَذَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ يُرِيدُ إِتْلاَفَهَا أَتْلَفَهُ اللَّهُ». إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعْرُوفًا بِالصَّبْرِ فَيُؤْثِرَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِ خَصَاصَةٌ كَفِعْلِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ حِينَ تَصَدَّقَ بِمَالِهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ آثَرَ الأَنْصَارُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، وَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ إِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُضَيِّعَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِعِلَّةِ الصَّدَقَةِ. وَقَالَ كَعْبٌ ؓ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ، فَهْوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ». قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ.
