عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللّٰہ صلّى اللّٰہ عليه وسلّم يَقُولُ: نَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ: قَالَ اللّٰہ أَنْفِقْ أُنْفِقْ عَلَيْكَ.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that he heard Allah’s Messenger (sa) say, “We are the last [to appear], yet the foremost on the Day of Resurrection.”
And through the same chain of narration, it is reported: Allah said, “Spend, and I shall spend upon you.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab at-tawhid, Bab qawlillahi ta‘ala ‘yuriduna ’an yubaddilu kalamAllah’, Hadith 7495, 7496)
