In commenting on the words of Allah Almighty, "Anything you
spend will be replaced by Him. and He is the best of Providers," (34:39)
Ibn 'Abbas said, "without extravagance or parsimony."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Allah is pleased with you about three things
and He is angry with you about three things. He is pleased that you worship
Him, not associating anything with Him, that you all take hold of the rope
of Allah and that you give good counsel to those that Allah has put in
authority over you. He dislikes you engaging in chitchat, asking a lot
of questions and squandering wealth."
