A man entered the Masjid on a Friday when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was delivering the Khutbah, and he said: Pray two Rak'ahs. Then he came on the following Friday, when the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was delivering the Khutbah and he said: Pray two Rak'ahs. Then he came on the third Friday, when the Prophet was delivering Khutbah and he said: Pray two Rak'ahs. Then he said: Give in charity. So they gave in charity, and he gave him (that man) two garments. Then he said: Give in charity and (that man) threw one of his two garments. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Have you not seen this man? He entered the Masjid in scruffy clothes and I hoped that you would notice him, and give charity to him, but you did not do that, So I said, 'Give in charity.' You gave in charity, and I gave him two garments, then I said; 'Give in charity' and he threw one of his two garments. Take your garment. And he rebuked him.

The wives of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gathered around him and said: Which of us will be the first to following you (in death)? He said: The one of you who has the longest arms. They took a stick and started to measure their arms. But Sawdah was the first one to follow him. She was the one who had the longest arms, because she used to give in charity a great deal.

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and start with those for whom you are responsible. '

Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا أَنْفَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ يَحْتَسِبُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةً .

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: When a man spends on his family, seeking reward for that, that is an act of charity on his part.

It was narrated from Abu Mas'ud رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عُذْرَةَ عَبْدًا لَهُ عَنْ دُبُرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَكَ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي ؟ فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَدَوِيُّ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ابْدَأْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ فَضَلَ شَيْءٌ فَلِأَهْلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ فَضَلَ شَيْءٌ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلِذِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ ذِي قَرَابَتِكَ شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا يَقُولُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ .

A man from Banu 'Udhrah declared that a slave of his would become free after he died. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and he said: 'Do you have any property besides him?' He said: 'No.' The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'Who will buy him from me?' Nu'aim bin 'Abdullah Al-Adawi bought him for eight hundred Dirhams. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم brought it (the money) and gave it to him, then he said: 'Start with yourself and if there is anything left, give it to our family. If there is anything left after your family (has been taken care of), then give it to your relatives. If there is anything left after your relatives (have been taken care of), then (give it) to such and such, saying: 'In front of you and to your right and to your left. '

It was narrated that Jabir رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَاه أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُنْفِقِ الْمُتَصَدِّقِ وَالْبَخِيلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَمَثَلِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُبَّتَانِ أَوْ جُنَّتَانِ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ مِنْ لَدُنْ ثُدِيِّهِمَا إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْمُنْفِقُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ اتَّسَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعُ أَوْ مَرَّتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى تُجِنَّ بَنَانَهُ وَتَعْفُوَ أَثَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْبَخِيلُ أَنْ يُنْفِقَ قَلَصَتْ وَلَزِمَتْ كُلُّ حَلْقَةٍ مَوْضِعَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ بِتَرْقُوَتِهِ أَوْ بِرَقَبَتِهِ ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوَسِّعُهَا فَلَا تَتَّسِعُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ طَاوُسٌ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ وَهُوَ يُوَسِّعُهَا وَلَا تَتَوَسَّعُ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The parable of the one who spends and give in charity, and the one who is miserly, is that of two men wearing coats of mail, with their hands pressed closely to their breasts and their collarbones. When the one who spends wants to give charity, the (coat of mail) expends so much that it covers his fingertips and obliterates his traces. But when the miser wants to give, the (coat of mail) contracts and every ring grips the place where it is, and his hands are tied up to his collarbone. ' Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ says: 'I swear that he saw the Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم trying to expand it but it did not. Tawus said: I heard Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said: I heard Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ illustrating with his hand trying to expand it but it did not.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَاوُسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَثَلُ الْبَخِيلِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَثَلُ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا جُنَّتَانِ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَدِ اضْطَرَّتْ أَيْدِيَهُمَا إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكُلَّمَا هَمَّ الْمُتَصَدِّقُ بِصَدَقَةٍ اتَّسَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى تُعَفِّيَ أَثَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكُلَّمَا هَمَّ الْبَخِيلُ بِصَدَقَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تَقَبَّضَتْ كُلُّ حَلْقَةٍ إِلَى صَاحِبَتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَقَلَّصَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَانْضَمَّتْ يَدَاهُ إِلَى تَرَاقِيهِ ،‏‏‏‏ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ فَيَجْتَهِدُ أَنْ يُوَسِّعَهَا فَلَا تَتَّسِعُ .

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The parable of the miser and the one who gives in charity is that of two men wearing coats of mail with their hands tied to their collarbones. Every time the one who gives thinks of giving in charity, the (coat of mail) expands until it obliterates his traces, and every time the miser thinks of giving charity, every circle (of the coat of mail) contracts and sticks to him, and his hand is tied up to his collarbones. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: He tries to expand it, but he cannot.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ هِنْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا يَوْمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ جُلُوسًا وَنَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ،‏‏‏‏ وَالْأَنْصَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى عَائِشَةَ لِيَسْتَأْذِنَ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ سَائِلٌ مَرَّةً وَعِنْدِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرْتُ لَهُ بِشَيْءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ دَعَوْتُ بِهِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَكِ شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يَخْرُجَ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِكِ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَهْلًا يَا عَائِشَةُ لَا تُحْصِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْكِ .

One day we were sitting in the Masjid with a group of the Muhajirin and Ansar, We sent a man to 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا to ask permission to come to her. She said: 'A beggar came in to me one day when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was present, and I ordered that he be given something, then I called for it and looked at it. The Messenger of Allah said: Do you want that nothing should enter or leave your house without your knowledge? I said: 'Yes.' He said: Don't be hasty, O 'Aishah. Do not count what you give, otherwise Allah will count what He gives to you. '

It was narrated that Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ لَا تُحْصِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْكِ .

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to her: Do not count what you give, otherwise Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will count what He gives to you.

It was narrated from Asma' bint Abi Bakr رضی الله عنہا that

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهَا جَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ! لَيْسَ لِي شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا مَا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ فِي أَنْ أَرْضَخَ مِمَّا يُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ارْضَخِي مَا اسْتَطَعْتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تُوكِي فَيُوكِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْكِ .

She came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said: O Prophet of Allah, I do not have anything but that which Az-Zubair brings to me. Is there any sin on me if I give a small amount of that which he brings to me? He said: Give whatever you can, and do not withhold what you have, lest Allah withhold provision from you.

It was narrated from Asma' bint Abi Bakr رضی الله عنہا that

أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْمُحِلِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ .

The Prophet said: Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date.

It was narrated from 'Adiyy bin Hatim رضی الله عنہ that

أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ مُرَّةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّارَ فَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْهَا ذَكَرَ شُعْبَةُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ فَعَلَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ التَّمْرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم mentioned the Fire, and he turned his face away (as if seeing it), and sought refuge with Allah from it. (One of the narrators) Shu'bah said: He did that three times, then he said: 'Protect yourselves from the Fire even with half a date, and if you cannot find that, then with a good word. '

It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin Hatim رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَذَكَرَ عَوْنَ بْنَ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ الْمُنْذِرَ بْنَ جَرِيرٍ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ عُرَاةً حُفَاةً مُتَقَلِّدِي السُّيُوفِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَامَّتُهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ بَلْ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَا رَأَى بِهِمْ مِنَ الْفَاقَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَذَّنَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا سورة النساء آية 1،‏‏‏‏ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ سورة الحشر آية 18،‏‏‏‏ تَصَدَّقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ دِينَارِهِ مِنْ دِرْهَمِهِ مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ مِنْ صَاعِ بُرِّهِ مِنْ صَاعِ تَمْرِهِ حَتَّى قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ . (حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِصُرَّةٍ كَادَتْ كَفُّهُ تَعْجِزُ عَنْهَا بَلْ قَدْ عَجَزَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ كَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَثِيَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَهَلَّلُ كَأَنَّهُ مُذْهَبَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا .

While we were with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in the early hours of the morning, some people came who were naked and barefoot, with their swords hung (around their necks). Most of them, may all of them, belonged to the tribe of Mudar. The face of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم changed when he saw them in poverty. He went in (to his house) then he came out and ordered Bilal رضی اللہ عنہ to call the Adhan and then the Iqamah. He (the Prophet) prayed, then he addressed them,, (reciting the Verses): 'O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him(Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women: and fear Allah through Whom you demand (your mutual right), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever and All-Watcher over you.' [1] and: 'Fear Allah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow,' [2] Then they gave in charity, some giving a Dinar, others a Dirham, or a garment, or a Sa' of wheat or, a Sa' of dates, until he said: 'Even half a date.' A man from among the Ansar came with a bag of money which his hands could hardly lift. The people followed one another (in giving charity) until I saw two heaps of food and clothing, and I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم shining like gold (with joy). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'Whoever sets a good precedent in Islam, he will have the reward for that, and the reward of those who acted in accordance with it, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. And whoever sets an evil precedent in Islam, he will have a burden of sin for that, and the burden of those who acted in accordance with it, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest. '

Al-Mundhir bin Jarir رضی الله عنہ narrated that his father said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَارِثَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ تَصَدَّقُوا فَإِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ يَمْشِي الرَّجُلُ بِصَدَقَتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ الَّذِي يُعْطَاهَا لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ قَبِلْتُهَا فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلَا .

It was narrated that Harithah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Give charity, for there will come a time when a man will walk about with his charity, and the one to whom he wants to give it will say: If you had brought it yesterday I would have accepted it, but today (I have no need of it).

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اشْفَعُوا تُشَفَّعُوا وَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ مَا شَاءَ .

The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Intercede and your intercession may be accepted, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, decrees on the lips of His Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم whatsoever He will.

It was narrated from Abu Musa رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَخِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَسْأَلُنِي الشَّيْءَ فَأَمْنَعُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى تَشْفَعُوا فِيهِ فَتُؤْجَرُوا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اشْفَعُوا تُؤْجَرُوا .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: A man may come and ask for something, and I refuse until you intercede, so that you will be rewarded. And the Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم of Allah said: Intercede and you will be rewarded.

It was narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Sufyan رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْغُضُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْغُضُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرِّيبَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا الْغَيْرَةُ الَّتِي يَبْغُضُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِيبَةٍ وَالِاخْتِيَالُ الَّذِي يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اخْتِيَالُ الرَّجُلِ بِنَفْسِهِ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ وَعِنْدَ الصَّدَقَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالِاخْتِيَالُ الَّذِي يَبْغُضُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الْخُيَلَاءُ فِي الْبَاطِلِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There is a kind of protective Jealousy that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves and a kind that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, and a kind of pride that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves and a kind that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, As for the protective jealousy that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, it is protective jealousy when there are grounds for suspicion. As for the protective jealousy that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, it is protective jealousy when there are no grounds for suspicion. As for the pride that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, it is when a man feels proud of himself when fighting and when giving charity. And as for the kind of pride that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates, it is pride in doing wrong.

It was narrated from Ibn Jabir رضی الله عنہ, from his father, that

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كُلُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْبَسُوا فِي غَيْرِ إِسْرَافٍ وَلَا مَخِيلَةٍ .

The Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: Eat, give charity and clothe yourselves, without being extravagant, and without showing off.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said

أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا . وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْخَازِنُ الْأَمِينُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ طَيِّبًا بِهَا نَفْسُهُ أَحَدُ الْمُتَصَدِّقَيْنِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: 'The believers are like a building they support one another.' And he said: The trustworthy storekeeper who gives that which he has been commanded to give, and is happy with what he is doing, is one of the two giving charity. '

It was narrated that Abu Musa رضی الله عنہ said
