ব্যক্তিগত প্রয়োজনে রাসূলুল্লাহ (সাঃ) কোন কিছু আগামী দিনের জন্য জমা করে রাখতেন না। সবই দান করে দিতেন। এটাই ছিল আল্লাহ তা’আলার উপর তাঁর পরিপূর্ণ তাওয়াক্কুলের নিদর্শন। তাঁর ওপর যাদের ভরণ-পোষণের দায়িত্ব ছিল, (যেমন বিবিগণ) তাদের এক বছরের খরচ তিনি একত্রে দিয়ে দিতেন। তাঁরা প্রয়োজনে খরচ করতেন এবং আল্লাহর রাস্তায় দান করতেন। ফলে কখনো এমন হতো যে, ঘরে রান্না করার মতো কিছুই থাকত না।

Whatever he possessed, he fed it to the people till nothing was left. He did not keep anything, thinking that he would need it the next day. This is an example of the complete reliance of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam on Allah Ta'aala, that what the Lord had given today, He will give it tomorrow too. All this is regarding himself. The wives were given their expenses so that they might spend it in the manner they wished. If they wished they could have kept it or distribute it, but they too, being the wives of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam had this spirit. Once two bags of Dirhams were presented to Sayyiditina 'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha as a gift, the total of which amounted to more than one hundred thousand Dirhams. She ordered a tray, filled it and distributed it till there was nothing left. At the time she was fasting and had only one roti and olive oil, with which she made iftaar. The slave girl said. 'If we had purchased meat for one Dirham today, we could have broken our fasts with it'. She replied: 'What is the use of complaining now; if you had reminded me at that time I would have purchased it for you'. In the Hikaayatus Sahaabah, a few such incidents of these truthful followers have been compiled. If the meaning of the hadith is, that he did not leave anything for himself nor for his family till the next day, then too it will not be out of place.
