There is an interesting point that expending is not merelyconcerned with wealth as you ask so much about it. Rather, forgiving one's own rights is more important than financial expending and granting wealth. Certainly, since this forgiveness is against the spirit of seeking vengeance in most people, it is more difficult, while its effect is much more in view of creating discipline and social justice.

This sort of turning from the reply to a question towardsanother reply is repeatedly observed in Quran, and this is one ofthe attractive points in Quran that uncommonly it is not boundto the requested question in its replies. Rather, it considers thereal requirement of the other party and answers accordingly.

As when it is questioned about the reason for transf ormationof falcate, instead of replying to it, Quran mentions itsadva ntages and results:

. يَسْئَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْاهِلَّةِ قُلْ هِيَ‌مَواقِيتُ لِلنّاسِ وَ الْحَجِ‌ ..

They will question thee concerning the new moons. Say: Theyare appointed times for the people, and the Pilgrimage.. [١]

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و آله «ثَلاثٌ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كُنْتُ حَلّافاً لَحَلَفْتُ عَلَيْهِنَّ: ما نَقَصَ مالٌ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ فَتَصَدَّقُوا؛ وَ لا عَفا رَجُلٌ مَظْلَمَةً يَبْتَغِي بِها وَجْهَ اللَّهِ الّا زادَهُ اللَّهُ بِها عِزّاً يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ؛ وَ لا فَتَحَ رَجُلٌ عَلى نَفْسِهِ بابَ مَسْأَلَةِ الّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بابَ فَقْرٍ» ..

Islam's Prophet S. A. said: By God, Who my soul is on Hishand, there are three things that if I was a swearer, I swore by them: no wealth is decreased for alms, so pay alms, no man forgives an injustice for God's satisfaction, unless God increases his dignity at the day of resurrection, and no one opens the door
