[Machine] One day, he came to the mosque with an onion. So, I said to him, "Abu al-Khair, what do you want with this? Are you intending to perfume your clothes with it?" He replied, "O nephew! By Allah, I didn't have anything in my house to give as charity except this. A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ narrated to me that the Prophet ﷺ said, 'The shade of a believer on the Day of Judgment will be his charity.'"  

أحمد:٢٣٤٩٠حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ قَالَ كَانَ مَرْثَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ لَا يَجِيءُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا وَمَعَهُ شَيْءٌ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ قَالَ

فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ بَصَلٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَبَا الْخَيْرِ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا يُنْتِنُ عَلَيْكَ ثَوْبَكَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنَّهُ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ فِي مَنْزِلِي شَيْءٌ أَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ غَيْرُهُ إِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ظِلُّ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَدَقَتُهُ
