Hadith 208

And he-asws said: ‘The Salat is an offering of every pious one, and the Hajj is Jihad of every weak one, and for all things there is Zakat, and Zakat of the body is the fasting, and the best deed of the person is awaiting the relief of Allah-azwj (Al-Qaim-ajfj); and the caller to a deed is like the archer without a bowstring; and the one certain with the replacement will be generous with the giving. Cause the sustenance to descend with (giving) the charity, and fortify your wealth with (paying) the Zakat; he will not be a destitute one who is moderate (economical); and the evaluating (determining) is half the good life, and the cordiality is half the intellect, and the worries are half the old age, and lack of dependants is one of the eases. And the one who grieves his parents is punished for it; and one who strikes his hand upon his thing during the difficulty his Recompense will be nullified; and the good dealing cannot be a good dealing except in the presence of one with pedigree or religion. And Allah-azwj Sends down the sustenance in accordance to the difficulties, so the one who is moderate, Allah-azwj Graces him, and the one who is extravagant Allah-azwj Deprives him; and the trustworthiness attracts the sustenance, and betrayal attracts the poverty; and if Allah-azwj had Wanted correctness for an ant, a wing would not grow for it’’.
