Excessive Use of Water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I remember a saying:
Do not be extravagant with water, even if you are on a flowing river.لا تسرفوا في الماء ولو كنتم على نهر جارٍ
, is this a hadith?

Answer: Yes, it is narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he forbade extravagance, even if one were on a flowing river. The verse covers this; Allah said:
and do not be extravagantوَلا تُسْرِفُوا
[Al-A'raf: 31]. So the verse covers this. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Eat, drink, wear clothes and give sadaqah but with neither extravagance nor pride.كل واشرب والبس وتصدق في غير سرف ولا مخيلة
Bulugh al-Maram 16:17
. So the believer is commanded to be economical in everything and forbidden from extravagance in everything, even in water, even in wudu and ghusl, he should be economical. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
