[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every act of kindness is charity, and whatever a man spends on himself and his family is also considered charity. The expression of a person's goodness is also considered charity, and whatever a man spends from his wealth, for the sake of Allah, will be rewarded by Him except for what is spent on building or committing sins." I asked Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, "How can a person protect his dignity?" He replied, "By giving to poets and those who have eloquent speech." 21133 Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us that Isma'il ibn Muhammad al-Saffar narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Ali, who narrated to us from Sa'id ibn Sulayman, who narrated to us from Miswar ibn As-Salt, who narrated to us from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, who narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah. He mentioned the hadith in a similar manner, except that he said, "Muhammad said..." We asked Jabir, "What does it mean to protect one's dignity?" He replied, "It refers to the poet and the person with restraining speech. It is as if he is saying that the person who restrains his tongue is the one who protects himself." Ghayr of Miswar is the narration that matches the hadith of Al-Hilali. This hadith is known by these two narrations, and it is not authentic from the two strong narrators. And Allah knows best.
