Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith, "Do not be extravagant, even if you are on a flowing river"?
Answer:
This hadith is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said it to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas. Allah knows best; I have not followed up on it, meaning I have not checked its chain of narration. What appears to me is that it is not strong, but extravagance is generally prohibited.
