Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, has stated: “Spend from
what we have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, ‘My
Lord, if only you would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and
be among the righteous.'” Qur’aan 63:10
.....
A man asked the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Which charity brings the greatest reward?” He replied: “That you give in charity when you are healthy, feeling miserly, whilst you fear poverty and are in hope of becoming rich. So do not delay until you are at the point of death and then you say: “Give this to so-and-so and give that to so-and-so,” when at that point [your wealth and property] already belongs to so-and-so!” (Al-Bukhaaree, no. 1419)
