It does not mean we should not spend but it means that we are accountable for each and every expenditure.And extravagance bring pride and will make us of arrogant boasters to which will abide hell.
Allah says in Quran
Allah says in Quran
Extravagance: and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifin (those who waste by extravagance(7:31)
Proud: Verily He loves not the arrogant (proud).” [Surah Al Nahl 16:23]
Arrogant boasters:For Allah loves not any arrogant boaster.” [Surah Luqman 31:18]
In sunnah traditiopns of prophet ﷺ it is mentioned in many instance to stop extravagance:
Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain, useless talk, or that you talk too much about others, (2) to ask too many questions, (in disputed religious matters) and (3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance).(Sahih al-Bukhari 2408)
Amro bin Shu’aib narrated on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather (RAA), that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“Eat, drink, wear clothes and give sadaqah but with neither extravagance nor pride.” (Related by Abu Dawud and Ahmad Book 16, Hadith 1496)
Hind bint `Utba (Abu Sufyan's wife) came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is there any harm if I spend something from his property for our children?" He said, there is no harm for you if you feed them from it justly and reasonably (with no extravagance).(Sahih al-Bukhari 2460)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If a woman gives in charity from her house meals without wasting (i.e. being extravagant), she will get the reward for her giving, and her husband will also get the reward for his earning and the storekeeper will also get a similar reward. The acquisition of the reward of none of them will reduce the reward of the others."(Sahih al-Bukhari 2065)
