Say ‘My Lord extends provision He makes it abundant for whomever He will of His servants as a test and restricts it for him after having extended it — or He restricts it for him whom He will to try and whatever thing you may expend for the cause of good He will replace it. And He is the best of providers’. It is said that every man ‘provides for’ his dependants yarzuqu ‘ā’ilatahu meaning that he does so from the provision given to him by God.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'Spend (O man), and I shall spend on you." He also said, "Allah's Hand is full, and (its fullness) is not affected by the continuous spending night and day." He also said, "Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the Earth? Nevertheless, what is in His Hand is not decreased, and His Throne was over the water; and in His Hand there is the balance (of justice) whereby He raises and lowers (people).

Sahih Muslim #2193Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that Allah said to him:Sahih

" Spend, I will bestow upon you." And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The right hand of Allah is full and spending (the riches) liberally during day and night will not diminish (the resources of Allah). Don't you see what (an enormous amount of resources) He has spent since He created the heaven and the earth, and what is in His right hand has not decreased? His Throne is upon the water. And in His other hand is death, and He elevates and degrades (whom He likes).

Sahih al-Bukhari #5138Narrated Abu Huraira:Sahih

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'O son of Adam! Spend, and I shall spend on you."

Sunan Abu Dawud #1489Narrated Salman al-Farsi:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Your Lord is munificent and generous, and is ashamed to turn away empty the hands of His servant when he raises them to Him.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #3129Narrated Abu Hurairah:Sahih

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Ar-Rahman's Hand is full, He spends without any decrease, night and day.' He said: 'Do you not see how much He has spent since He created the heavens and the earth, yet it has not decreased what is in His Hand, and His Throne is over the water, and in His Other Hand is the Mizan (Scale) which He raises and lowers.'"
