Spend (on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

The meaning of this Hadith is apparent, but we have reflections that we want to show you, O Muslim brother, to consider and share with your friends.

1- The saying of Allah: "spend" it is an imperative that indicates the obligation of spending in the obligatory channels like the Zakah , the maintenance of the wife and the dependents, the maintenance of the parents and those like them, such as the grandfather and the grandmother, and the maintenance on the disabled brother and the sister who has no provider.

As well it entails the recommendation to spend in the voluntary channels such as charity that the Muslim voluntarily pays to the poor, the needy and those with similar needs. Especially if they are relatives, neighbors, friends, students of knowledge and of the righteous people.

2-The word spend entails that the Muslim spend generously for the sake of Allah. The Muslim is not considered generous unless he spends frequently in charity, especially the best of his properties for the sake of Allah. He will not escape the punishment of Allah unless he is saved from the moral defects; stinginess and greed. Moreover, he shall find this world trivial so that he renounces the worldly pleasures and attach his heart to the Hereafter.

Whatever you spend for the sake of Allah you will receive better than it in this world and the Hereafter. His generosity never ceases to extend; he continues to shower his slaves with his blessings even if they did not ask him and bless those who believe in him and spend from what he made them trustee therein.
