[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy people have taken all the rewards." He said, "Are you not the ones who pray, fast, strive, and give charity?" I said, "Yes, but they do the same; they pray, fast, strive, and give charity, but we don't give charity." He said, "Surely, in you there are many acts of charity. Surely, your explanation to someone in need is an act of charity, and your listening to someone with bad hearing is an act of charity, and your guiding a blind person on the road is an act of charity, and your assisting the weak with your strength is an act of charity, and your removing harm from the road is an act of charity, and your gentle treatment of your family is an act of charity." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, can one of us fulfill his desire and still be rewarded?" He said, "Do you not consider that if you fulfill it in an unlawful manner, would there be a burden on you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "So why do you reckon the bad but not the good?" And this was narrated to us from different sources other than Abu Dharr.
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ بِالْأَجْرِ فَقَالَ أَلَسْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ وَتَصُومُونَ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى وَهُمْ يَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا نَفْعَلُ يُصَلُّونَ وَيَصُومُونَ وَيُجَاهِدُونَ وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَتَصَدَّقُ قَالَ إِنَّ فِيكَ صَدَقَةً كَثِيرَةً إِنَّ فِي فَضْلِ بَيَانِكَ عَنِ الْأَرْتَمِ تُعَبِّرُ عَنْهُ حَاجَتَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَفِي فَضْلِ سَمْعِكَ عَلَى السَّيِّئِ السَّمْعِ تُعَبِّرُ عَنْهُ حَاجَتَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَفِي فَضْلِ بَصَرِكَ عَلَى ضَرِيرِ الْبَصَرِ تَهْدِيهِ الطَّرِيقَ صَدَقَةٌ وَفِي قُوَّتِكَ عَلَى الضَّعِيفِ تُعِينُهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَفِي إِمَاطَتِكَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ وَفِي مُبَاضَعَتِكَ أَهْلَكَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيَأْتِي أَحَدُنَا شَهْوَتَهُ وَيُؤْجَرُ؟ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ جَعَلْتَهُ فِي غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ أَكَانَ عَلَيْكَ وِزْرٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَفَتَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالْخَيْرِ؟ وَرُوِّينَا هَذَا مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ أُخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ
