Assalam alaikum,
In Ayat 268 of Surat Baqarat of the Holy Qur'an (2:268), Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:--
"SHAYTAN (SATAN) THREATENS YOU WITH POVERTY AND ORDERS YOU TO
COMMIT FAHSHA' (evil deeds, illegal sexual intercourse, sins); WHEREAS ALLAH
PROMISES YOU FORGIVENESS FROM HIMSELF AND BOUNTY, AND ALLAH IS
ALL-SUFFICIENT FOR HIS CREATURES NEEDS, ALL-KNOWING".
Satan uses the fear tactic of becoming poor on the human being. Thus he pushes him to refrain from paying Zakkat/charity for the pleasure of Allah. Satan whispers to man that spending will only push him towards poverty and need. Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, however, gives man the good news of rewarding the generous one, saying, "WHEREAS ALLAH PROMISES YOU FORGIVENESS FROM HIMSELF AND BOUNTY...." This verse or Ayat shows that His Bounty, Azza Wa Jallah, is infinite, His sustenance is abundant and that His Treasures are full and will never be depleted. Spend freely and cheerfully in the Way of Allah, Most High.
