Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ''Every morning, two angels descend. One of them says: 'O Allah, give the one who spends (in the way of Allah) compensation.' The other one says: 'O Allah, give the one who withholds (from spending in the way of Allah) damage.'"

Explanation

Every day, two angels come down. One of them prays that Allah give those who spend on good ways, such as acts of obedience, and on their families and guests, compensation both in this life and in the afterlife. The other angel prays that Allah destroy the miser, who does not spend of his wealth in good ways, as Allah prescribed.
