[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said, 'Indeed, one of you may give charity with a date from his pure earnings, and Allah receives it in His right hand, then it continues to grow just as one of you raises his own child, until it becomes as large as a mountain or even greater than a mountain.'"

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one give in charity what equals one date-fruit from the honestly earned money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money --Allah takes it in His right (hand) and then enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his baby horse, so much s that it becomes as big as a mountain

No one gives Sadaqa of a date out of his honest earning, but Allah accepts it with His Right Hand, and then fosters it as one of you fosters the colt or a young she-camel, till it becomes like a mountain or even greater.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever gives charity from a good and pure source of income, and Allah only accepts what is pure, it is as if he has placed it in the hand of the Most Merciful, and He will nurture it just as one of you nurtures a foal or a young camel until it becomes like a mountain."
