"Every Muslim must give charity." It was said: "What if he cannot find (anything to give)? "He said: "Let him work with his hands and benefit himself and give in charity." It was said: "What if he cannot do that?" He said: "Let him help someone who is in desperate need." It was said: "What if he cannot do that?" He said: "Let him enjoin good." It was said: "What if he cannot do that? He said: "Let him refrain from doing evil, for that is an act of charity." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2538)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ؟ قَالَ يَعْمَلُ بِيَدِهِ فَيَنْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ؟ قَالَ يُعِينُ ذَا الْحَاجَةِ الْمَلْهُوفَ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْخَيْرِ أَوْ بِالْعَدْلِ قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ؟ قَالَ يُمْسِكُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ
