Prohibition of Squandering Wealth | Riyad-us-Saliheen

1781 Abu Hurairah (radiyallahu anhu) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Verily, Allah likes three things for you and disapproves three things for you. He likes that you should worship Him Alone, not to associate anything with Him (in worship) and to hold fast to the Rope of Allah and not to be divided among yourselves; and He disapproves for you irrelevant talk, persistent questioning and the squandering of the wealth.”[Muslim].

1782 Warrad, the scribe of Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah (radiyallahu anhu) said: Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah dictated a letter to me addressed to Mu`awiyah (radiyallahu anhu) that the Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate at the end of each obligatory Salat (prescribed prayer): “La ilaha illallahu, wahadahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa `ala kulli shai’in Qadir. Allahumma la mani`a lima a`taita, wa la mu`tiya lima mana`ta, wa la yanfa`u dhal-jaddi mink-al-jaddu. (There is no true god except Allah, the One, Who has no partner. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Able to do everything. O Allah! Nobody can withhold what You give; and nobody can give what You withhold; and the high status of a person is of no avail against Your Will).” He also wrote to him that the Prophet ﷺ used to forbid irrelevant talk, wasteful expenditure, persistent questioning, disobedience of parents (especially mothers), infanticide of daughters by burying them alive, depriving others of their rights and acquisition of property wrongfully.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
