Riyad as-Salihin, 547
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Everyday two angels descend and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate (more) to the person who gives (in charity)'; while the other one says, 'O Allah! Destroy the one who withholds (charity, etc)". <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
ما من يوم يصبح العباد فيه إلا ملكان ينزلان فيقول أحدهما: اللهم أعط منفقاً خلفاً، ويقول الآخر: اللهم أعط ممسكاً تلفاً
((متفق عليه)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It includes supplication for the spenders to be compensated and for the withholders to suffer damage.<br>
2) The angels supplicate for the righteous believers, and this is good tidings for the people of faith.<br>
<br>
<b>Benefit:</b><br>
Damage is of two types:<br>
1. Material damage: This is when the wealth itself gets damaged, such as by burning, stealing, or sinking.<br>
2. Moral damage: This is when blessing is removed from it, in a way that its owner barely benefits from it in his life.
