Pearl of Wisdom
to his companions, 'Which of you loves the money of his heirs more than his own money?' They said, ?O Messenger of Allah, we all love our own money more than the money of our heirs.' He said, 'One's own money is that which is put forward and the money of one's heir [i.e. that which we save and not spend in charity] is that which he leaves behind.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib, v. 2, p. 50, no. 8

Sermon 138 On the occasion of the Consultative Committee (after the death of `Umar ibn al-Khattab)
No one preceded me in inviting people to truthfulness, in giving consideration to kinship and practising generosity. So, hear my word and preserve what I say. Maybe you will see soon after today that over this matter swords will be drawn and pledges will be broken, so much so that some of you will become leaders of the people of misguidance and followers of people of ignorance.
