[Pooya/Ali Commentary 2:195] Muhsin (derived from ihsan) is he who acts well, does good deeds and spends in the way of the most perfect, good and bountiful Allah. Allah, therefore, loves the Muhsin. When a man gets what he deserves, proportionate to his deeds, it is called justice (adl); but if one is given more in view of one's needs, more than what one deserves, it is called ihsan (to give for a present). Islam views closefisted miserliness as ungodliness, which keeps the miser away from paradise and throws him into hell. By not spending in the way of Allah, individuals cast themselves and their nation into perdition and both are destroyed. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: Man's life and his possessions are not his own. They belong to Allah. Man only holds them as a trust. He should not use them to please himself. He must spend of his possessions and readily give his life in the way of Allah to promote His cause, as Imam Husayn did in Kerbala. But he must protect his life and property when there is no danger to the religion or to the mission of Allah, as the Holy Prophet did at the time of the treaty of Hudaybiya, as Ali did in Siffin, and as Hasan did with Mu-awiya.
