[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever spends two (units of currency) in the cause of Allah from his wealth, the curtains of Paradise will call him saying, 'Come closer, this is better and more frequent.'". Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this the one who is not left with anything?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, I hope that all of the curtains will call upon you."
