Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Hadhrat Ali Murtaza alayhis 'salam had an older brother called Aqeel. He was getting some financial aid from the State Treasury (Baitul Mal) because of his poverty. He thought that he was not getting enough money from the State Treasury (Baitul Mal), so one day he invited his brother Hadhrat Ali Murtaza alayhis 'salam Caliph (Khalifah) of the time for lunch.
After eating, Aqeel explained to his brother and said, "Look my brother, the aid that I am getting from the State Treasury (Baitul Mal) is not sufficient. Could you please increase little bit more so that I can live little bit comfortably?"
Hadhrat Ali Murtaza alayhis 'salam: If what you say is true, then how could you afford to invite for lunch today?
Aqeel: I saved bit by bit for a few days and then I invited you.
Hadhrat Ali Murtaza alayhis 'salam: This means that you are still getting that little bit extra from which you could save. So really speaking, that extras should be cut off and given to someone more needy.
Aqeel: Oh no, please don't do that. I will try to survive on what I get and won't complain any more.
never complain.
