in charity, such that you've spent it, or what you eat, such that you've finished it, or you wear, such that you've worn it out?" (Sahīh)

Commentary
The real wealth of a person is that which he used for himself the property which he earned and left for the heirs is not his. The best and more beneficial of the used wealth, for him, is that which he gave in charity for the cause of Allāh, and He preserved it for the Hereafter.
