The answer

The first mentioned by the questioner, concerning the angels' supplication "O Allah, grant compensation to the one who spends" and "O Allah, inflict destruction upon the one who withholds," revolves around financial expenditure in good and righteous causes, not abstract (or non-material) charities. As for the second Hadith, which states that "Every Tasbihah (utterance of 'Subhan Allah') is a charity, and every Tahmidah (utterance of 'Alhamdulillah') is a charity, and every Tahlilah (utterance of 'La ilaha illa Allah') is a charity, and every Takbirah (utterance of 'Allahu Akbar') is a charity, and enjoining good is a charity, and forbidding evil is a charity, and sufficient for that are two rak'ahs performed in Duha prayer," it refers to expressing gratitude for Allah's blessings upon the body's sound limbs. These actions are avenues for showing gratitude and have been termed "charity" by way of linguistic expansion or resemblance. They do not replace financial charity, which involves spending money. However, for one who is unable to give financial charity but intends to perform the aforementioned good deeds, their intention is counted for them as a charity, by Allah's grace.
