ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ أَنْ يُوعِيَ الْمَرْءُ بَعْضَ مَالِهِ إِذِ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يُوعِي عَلَى مَنْ جَمَعَ مَالَهُ فَأَوْعَى

[Machine] About Asma bint Abi Bakr, whenever she spent something, she would tally it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Spend and do not tally, for Allah will tally for you. Do not withhold, for Allah will withhold from you."  

ابن حبّان:٣٢٠٩ – أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ

عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَكَانَتْ إِذَا أَنْفَقَتْ شَيْئًا تُحْصِي فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنْفِقِي وَلَا تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَلَا تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Spend, and do not calculate, or otherwise Allah would also calculate in your case.  

مسلم:١٠٢٩a – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ

عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْفِقِي أَوِ انْضَحِي أَوِ انْفَحِي وَلاَ تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ

Spend and do not calculate, (for) Allah would calculate in your case; and do not hoard, otherwise Allah would be withholding from you.  

مسلم:١٠٢٩b – وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ وَعَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ قَالَتْ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْفَحِي أَوِ انْضَحِي أَوْ أَنْفِقِي وَلاَ تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَلاَ تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ  

ahmad:26922 – Abū Muʿāwiyah > Hishām b. ʿUrwah > Fāṭimah b. al-Mundhir > Asmāʾ b. Abū Bakr

[Machine] From Asmaa bint Abi Bakr, who used to count, and from Abbade ibn Hamzah, from Asmaa bint Abi Bakr, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: "Spend, or sacrifice, or give charity like this and like that, and do not keep track so that it is kept track of against you, and do not count so that Allah counts against you."

And do not hold back, lest Allah holds back His blessings from you."
