I love You God for the wealth and blessings You bestowed on me and pledge to spend charitably without fear of poverty, as You will never leave me destitute.
قال أبو أيوب -رضي الله عنه-: "نزلت فينا معشر الأنصار؛ وذلك أن الله تعالى لمَّا أعز دينه، ونصر رسوله قلنا فيما بيننا: إنا قد تركنا أهلنا وأموالنا حتى فشا الإسلام، ونصر الله نبيه، فلو رجعنا إلى أهلينا وأموالنا فأقمنا فيها، فأصلحنا ما ضاع منها، فأنزل الله تعالى: (وأنفقوا في سبيل الله ولا تلقوا بأيديكم إلى التهلكة)؛ فالتهلكة: الإقامة في الأهل والمال، وترك الجهاد". البغوي: 1/171.
