The meal of Sahur
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
"Sahur is a meal containing blessing, so do not aban don it, even if you only have a drink of water. Allah and His angels pray on those who eat sahur."
Al-Mundhiri mentioned it in at-Targhib wa't-Tarhib from Ahmad, He said that its isnad is strong.
Ibn Hibban and at-Tabarani in his Middle Collection transmit from Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messen- ger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
"Allah and His angels pray on those who eat sahur."
Reliable people say that its isnad is good.
Sadaqa and spending in good ways
Al-Bukhari transmitted with his isnad from Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
"There is no day which dawns on the slaves of Allah without two angels descending and one of them saying. O Allah, refund those who give money' and the other saying. O Allah, ruin those who withhold it.""
There is also the hadith of Abu'd-Darda' who said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
"There is no day on which the sun rises but that it is accompanied by two angels who call out and all of Allah's creation hear it except for men and jinn O peo ple! Hasten to your Lord. What is little and adequate is better than what is abundant and heedless. And the sun does not set but that it is accompanied by two angels who call out and one of them says, "O Allah, refund those who give money, and the other, 'O Allah, rain those who with- hold it."
An-Nawawi says that praiseworthy spending is what is spent in acts of obedience and on behalf of your family and guests and in voluntary acts of charity. Al-Qurtubi said that this includes both obligatory and recommended giving, but that those who withhold from recommended giving do not merit this supplication nor those dominated by miserliness to the extent that they are not happy about giving out what is due from them, even if they do it.
