Narrated from Abu Kabshah Al-Anmari (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: “I swear about three things and I narrate to you about them, so remember it." He said: "A servant’s (of Allah) wealth does not decrease due to charity, no slave (of Allah) is wronged, and he endures it patiently but Allah adds to his honor; no slave (of Allah) opens up a door to begging except that Allah opens a door for him to poverty"- or a statement similar- "And I shall narrate to you a narration, so remember it." He said: "The world consist of four types of people: A man whom Allah has given wealth and knowledge, so he has Taqwa of his Lord in (using) it, and joins the ties of kinship with it, and he knows that Allah has a right in it. So he is in the most virtuous rank. And a man whom Allah has given with knowledge, but He does not gave wealth to him. So he has a truthful intent, saying: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it.' He has his intention, so their rewards are the same. And a man whom Allah has given the wealth, but He has not provided him with knowledge. [So he] spends his wealth rashly without knowledge, nor having Taqwa of his Lord, nor joining the ties of kinship, and he does not know that Allah has a right in it. So this is the most despicable in rank. And a man whom Allah has neither provided with wealth nor knowledge, so he says: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it.' He has his intention, so their sin is the same."

Narrated from Abu Wail (RA) that Mu'awiyah (RA) came to Abu Hashim bin 'Uthbah (RA) to visit him when he was ill (and dying). He said: 'O Uncle! Why do you cry?
