The Hand of Allah Ta’ala is Full and it is not Diminished
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah Almighty said:
قَالَ اللَّهُ أَنْفِقْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أُنْفِقْ عَلَيْك
Spend in charity, O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.

In another narration, the Prophet said:
يَمِينُ اللَّهِ مَلْأَى لَا يَغِيضُهَا سَحَّاءُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا أَنْفَقَ مُذْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَغِضْ مَا فِي يَمِينِهِ
The hand of Allah is full and it is not diminished by continuous spending night and day. Do you not see that He has been spending since the creation of the heavens and the earth, and it has not decreased anything in His hand?
