Infāq (إنفاق, الْإِنْفَاقِ)

Spending for the good causes

قُلْ لَوْ أَنْتُمْ تَمْلِكُونَ خَزَائِنَ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّي إِذًا لَأَمْسَكْتُمْ خَشْيَةَ الْإِنْفَاقِ ۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ قَتُورًا {100}

Say: If you were controlling the treasures of the Mercy of my Lord, then you would have withheld these fearing the expenditure, and the human being was always stingy [17:100]

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ صَنَائِعُ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَ حُسْنُ الْبِشْرِ يَكْسِبَانِ الْمَحَبَّةَ وَ يُدْخِلَانِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ الْبُخْلُ وَ عُبُوسُ الْوَجْهِ يُبْعِدَانِ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ يُدْخِلَانِ النَّارَ

From him, from his father, from Hammad, from Rabie, from Fuzayl who said,

‘The good works and the goodly cheerfulness both amass the love and cause to enter the Paradise; and the stinginess and a frowning face both cause remoteness from Allah-azwj and cause to enter the Fire’.[1]
