The evidence is the saying of Allāh, the Exalted:
Say: "Truly, my Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills of His slaves, and (also) restricts (it) for him, and whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allah's Cause), He will replace it. And He is the Best of providers."[1]
And also the saying of the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم):
"Allāh the Most High said: 'Spend, O son of Adam and you will be spent upon'."[2]
From the fruits of spending in the way of Allāh (through charity) are the replacement of what has been spent and Allāh spending upon the servant.
