While we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the early hours of the morning, some people came there (who) were barefooted, naked, wearing striped woollen clothes, or cloaks, with their swords hung (around their necks). Most of them, nay, all of them, belonged to the tribe of Mudar. The colour of the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ underwent a change when he saw them in poverty. He then entered (his house) and came out and commanded Bilal (to pronounce Adhan). He pronounced Adhan and Iqima, and he (the Holy Prophet) observed prayer (along with his Companion) and then addressed (them reciting verses of the Holy Qur'an): '" 0 people, fear your Lord, Who created you from a single being" to the end of the verse," Allah is ever a Watcher over you" (iv. 1). (He then recited) a verse of Sura Hashr:" Fear Allah. and let every soul consider that which it sends forth for the morrow and fear Allah" (lix. 18). (Then the audience began to vie with one another in giving charity.) Some donated a dinar, others a dirham, still others clothes, some donated a sa' of wheat, some a sa' of dates; till he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Bring) even if it is half a date. Then a person from among the Ansar came there with a money bag which his hands could scarcely lift; in fact, they could not (lift). Then the people followed continuously, till I saw two heaps of eatables and clothes, and I saw the face of the Messenger ﷺ glistening, like gold (on account of joy). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is a reward for him for this (act of goodness) and reward of that also who acted according to it subsequently, without any deduction from their rewards; and he who sets in Islam an evil precedent, there is upon him the burden of that, and the burden of him also who acted upon it subsequently, without any deduction from their burden. (Using translation from Muslim 1017a)   

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جُلُوسًا فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ فَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ حُفَاةٌ عُرَاةٌ مُجْتَابِي النِّمَارِ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَبَاءُ أَوْ قَالَ مُتَقَلِّدِي السُّيُوفِ عَامَّتُهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ بَلْ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ فَرَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَغَيَّرُ لِمَا يَرَى بِهِمْ مِنَ الْفَاقَةِ فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ فَخَطَبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ { يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ } [النساء 1] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ { يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ } [الحشر 18] الْآيَةَ تَصَدَّقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ دِينَارِهِ مِنْ دِرْهَمِهِ مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ مِنْ صَاعِ بُرِّهِ مِنْ صَاعِ تَمْرِهِ حَتَّى قَالَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِصُرَّةٍ قَدْ كَادَتْ كَفُّهُ أَنْ تَعْجِزُ عَنْهَا بَلْ قَدْ عَجَزَتْ عَنْهَا فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَرَأَيْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَثِيَابٍ وَجَعَلَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَهَلَّلُ كَأَنَّهُ مُذْهَبَةٌ وَقَالَ مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْتَقَصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْتَقَصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ وَحَدِيثُ النَّضْرِ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ النَّضْرُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَبَاءُ  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a group of people came to him. They were wearing striped garments and carrying swords. They didn't have any covering except for that. They were all from the tribe of Mudar, and they were in a distressed state. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the signs of fatigue, poverty, and hunger on them, his face changed and he got up and entered his house. Then he went to the mosque and prayed the Dhuhr prayer. Then he ascended a small minbar and praised and thanked Allah ﷻ. He then recited the verses from the Quran starting from "O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul..." [Quran 4:1] until "Be mindful of Allah and let every soul consider what it has sent forth for tomorrow..." [Quran 59:18] then continued until "they are the successful ones" [Quran 59:20]. He advised them to give charity before a time comes when they won't be able to give charity. He said, "Let one of you give in charity from his dinar, or his dirham, or his wheat, or his dates." He emphasized that no one should belittle any amount of charity, even if it is just half a date. Then a man from the Ansar stood up with a bundle in his hand, and handed it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was still on the minbar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ accepted it with joy on his face and said, "Whoever starts a good tradition in Islam which is followed, he will receive its reward and the reward of those who practice it without their reward being decreased. And whoever starts an evil tradition in Islam which is followed, he will receive its sin and the sin of those who practice it without their sins being decreased." Then the people got up and disbursed, and he distributed the charity among them.  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عَندَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ مُجْتَابِي النِّمَارِ مُتَقَلِّدِي السُّيُوفِ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ آزُرٌ وَلَا شَيْءَ غَيْرَهَا عَامَّتُهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ بَلْ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ وَالْعُرَى وَالْجُوعِ تَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ ثُمَّ رَاحَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ مِنْبَرَهُ مِنْبَرًا صَغِيرًا فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَنْزَلَ فِي كِتَابِهِ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ} [النساء 1] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {رَقِيبًا} [النساء 1] {اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ} [الحشر 18] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ} [الحشر 20] تَصَدَّقُوا قَبَلَ أَنْ لَا تَصَدَّقُوا تَصَدَّقُوا قَبَلَ أَنْ يُحَالَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ امْرُؤٌ مِنْ دِينَارِهِ مِنْ دِرْهَمِهِ مِنْ بُرِّهِ مِنْ شَعِيرِهِ وَلَا يَحْقِرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِصُرَّةٍ فِي كَفِّهِ فَنَاوَلَهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ فَقَبَضَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْرَفُ السُّرُورُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعَمِلَ بِهَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعَمِلَ بِهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ فَتَفَرَّقُوا فَمِنْ ذِي دِينَارٍ وَمِنْ ذِي دِرْهَمٍ وَمِنْ ذِي وَمِنْ ذِي قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعَ فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Save yourselves from the Hellfire, even if it is by giving half a date in charity."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is none of you but that his Lord will speak to him without any barrier between them, nor an interpreter. He will look to his right and will not see anything except what he has put forth, and he will look to his left and will not see anything except what he has put forth. He will look in front of him and will see nothing but the Fire, so guard yourselves against the Fire even with half of a date."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا سَيُكَلِّمُهُ رَبُّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ حَاجِبٌ وَلَا تُرْجُمَانٌ فَيَنْظُرُ أَيْمَنَ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَرَى شَيْئًا إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ وَيَنْظُرُ أَشْأَمَ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ وَيَنْظُرُ أَمَامَهُ فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا النَّارَ فَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the fire, so he sought refuge from it and turned his face away. Then he mentioned it again and sought refuge from it and turned his face away. Shu'bah said: "Regarding the two times, there is no doubt. Then he said: 'Beware of the fire, even with half a date. And if you cannot find that, then with a good word.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ النَّارَ فَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْهَا وَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَذَكَرَ فَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْهَا وَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ فَلَا شَكَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever gives in charity a date from lawful earnings and does not raise it up to Allah unless it is good, then Allah accepts it with His right hand and grows it for its owner, just as one of you raises his young animal until it becomes like the size of a mountain."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعَدْلِ تَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ إِلَّا طَيِّبٌ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَقْبَلُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا لِصَاحِبِهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ حتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: O Muslim women, do not belittle your neighbor's act, even if it is just giving her a hoof or a sheep.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ يَا نِسَاءَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ جَارَةٌ لِجَارَتِهَا وَلَوْ فِرْسِنَ شَاةٍ  

[Machine] About this, the verse "Those who defame the voluntary givers among the believers in regards to their charities" [Al-Tawbah 79] was revealed as "a painful punishment" [Al-Tawbah 79]. This is the wording of the hadith of Abu Salih, and in the narration of Abu Bakr, it is mentioned that Abu Mas'ud Al-Badri said: "We used to tease each other, then a man would come with a great charity".  

عَنْ هَذَا فَنَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ} [التوبة 79] إِلَى {عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ} [التوبة 79] لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيِّ قَالَ كُنَّا نَتَحَامَلُ فَيَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ  

"Respond to the one who asks even with a sheep's foot." According to the narration of Harun: "With a sheep's burned foot." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2565)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رُدُّوا السَّائِلَ وَلَوْ بِظِلْفٍ مُحْرَقٍ  

[Machine] Abdul Rahman, one of the Bani Harithah, narrated that his grandmother, Umm Bujayd, who was one of those who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , told him: "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, the poor stand at my door and I cannot find anything to give them." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: "If you cannot find anything to give them except a burnt hoof, then give it to them." And Sa'id bin Sulaiman narrated from Al-Laith from Abdul Rahman bin Bujayd.  

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَحَدِ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ حدَّثَتْهُ جَدَّتُهُ وَهِيَ أُمُّ بُجَيْدٍ وَكَانَتْ مِمَنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ إِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ لَيَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِي فَمَا أَجِدُ لَهُ شَيْئًا أُعْطِيهِ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِي شَيْئًا تُعْطِيهِ إِيَّاهُ إِلَّا ظِلْفًا مُحْرَقًا فَادْفَعِيهِ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بُجَيْدٍ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Every person will be in the shade of his charity until the matter is settled between people, or until judgments are made between people." Yazid said, "Abu Al-Khair never missed a day without giving something in charity, even if it was a small amount or a little bit of onion."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ فِي ظِلِّ صَدَقَتِهِ حَتَّى يُفْصَلَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى يُحْكَمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَكَانَ أَبُو الْخَيْرِ لَا يُخْطِئُهُ يَوْمٌ لَا يَتَصَدَّقُ فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَوْ كَعْكَةً وَلَوْ بَصَلَةً
