ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلۡفَقۡرَ وَيَأۡمُرُڪُم بِٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغۡفِرَةً۬ مِّنۡهُ وَفَضۡلاً۬ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٲسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ۬.
"SATAN FRIGHTENS YOU OF POVERTY AND BIDS YOU TO INDECENCY, AND ALLAH PROMISES YOU FORGIVENESS FROM HIM, AND GRACE AS WELL. AND ALLAH IS ALL-EMBRACING, ALL-KNOWING."
If a person starts having thoughts that if he spends his income on Sadaqah and Khayrat he will become poor, and even after repeatedly hearing Allah's commandments about spending one's income on poor and needy people he does not develop the courage to do so and is still inclined to keep all his money for himself, then he should know that these thoughts are coming from Satan. On the other hand, if a person gets thoughts that if he spends on Sadaqah and Khayrat his sins will be forgiven, and that his wealth will be blessed and will increase by giving money to others, then he should know that these thoughts are coming from Allah Ta'alah.
