Some of the wise have said: Generosity is of two kinds—the noblest of them is your generosity in refraining from what others possess. Some of the eloquent have said: True #Generosity is to give freely of your own wealth while abstaining from that which belongs to others. And some of the righteous have said: #Munificence is the ultimate form of #Asceticism, and #Asceticism is the ultimate form of munificence. (From “Adab al-Dunya wa al-Din” by Al-Mawardi)
