Chapter 285 | The meaning of openhandedness and its limitation

أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن بعض أصحابنا، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قلت له: ما حد السخاء؟ قال: تخرج من مالك الحق الذي أوجبه الله عليك فتضعه في موضعه.

1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Hasan bin Mahbub, from some of our companions, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: I said to him: What is the limitation of openhandedness? He said: That you extract from your property the right which Allah has obliged upon you, and you put it in its place.
