Abu Saleel reported,

A man stopped at our gathering in al-Baqi and said, "My father, or my uncle, told me that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at al-Baqi saying, 'Whoever gives a charity, I will bear witness for him by it on the Day of Resurrection.'"He continued, "So I unwound one or two folds of my turban, intending to give them in charity, but then what overtakes the children of Adam overtook me, and I tied my turban back up.Then a man came forward, and I had never seen at al-Baqi a man darker, more yellowish, or more brown than him, leading a she-camel. I had never seen at al-Baqi a finer she-camel than her. He said, 'Messenger of Allah, is this acceptable as charity?'He replied, 'Yes.'The man said, 'Take this she-camel.'Another man then accosted him and said, 'This fellow is giving this camel in charity? By Allah, she is better than him!'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard this and said, 'You have lied. Rather, he is better than you and better than her,' three times.Then he said, 'Woe to those who own hundreds of camels,' three times.They asked, 'Except whom, Messenger of Allah?'He answered, 'Except the one who does like this and like this with his wealth,' joining his hands together to his right and to his left.Then he said, 'Successful is the one who lives sparingly and exerts himself,' three times, meaning the one who lives sparingly in his livelihood and exerts himself in worship."

عن أبي السليل قال

وقف علينا رجل في مجلسنا بالبقيع فقال حدثني أبي أو عمي أنه رأى رسول الله ﷺ بالبقيع وهو يقول من يتصدق بصدقة أشهد له بها يوم القيامة قال فحللت من عمامتي لوثا أو لوثين وأنا أريد أن أتصدق بهما فأدركني ما يدرك بني آدم فعقدت علي عمامتي فجاء رجل ولم أر بالبقيع رجلا أشد سوادا أصفر منه ولا آدم يعبر بناقة لم أر بالبقيع ناقة أحسن منها فقال يا رسول الله أصدقة قال نعم قال دونك هذه الناقة قال فلزمه رجل فقال هذا يتصدق بهذه فوالله لهي خير منه قال فسمعها رسول الله ﷺ فقال كذبت بل هو خير منك ومنها ثلاث مرار ثم قال ويل لأصحاب المئين من الإبل ثلاثا قالوا إلا من يا رسول الله قال إلا من قال بالمال هكذا وهكذا وجمع بين كفيه عن يمينه وعن شماله ثم قال قد أفلح المزهد المجهد ثلاثا المزهد في العيش المجهد في العبادة
