وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «الِاقْتِصَادُ فِي النَّفَقَةِ نِصْفُ الْمَعِيشَةِ وَالتَّوَدُّدُ إِلَى النَّاسِ نِصْفُ الْعَقْلِ وَحُسْنُ السُّؤَالِ نِصْفُ الْعِلْمِ» رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ الْأَحَادِيثَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ "
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Being moderate in spending is (like) half of one's livelihood (or capital). Being friendly to the people is (like) half of intelligence. And putting questions in a decent manner is (like) half of knowledge." [1]
