[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No one gives charity with a date from lawful earnings, except that Allah takes it in His right hand and nurtures it as one of you nurtures his foal or young camel until it becomes like a mountain or even greater."

البيهقي:٧٨٣٩ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

muslim:1014b – Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > Yaʿqūb / Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥman al-Qārī > Suhayl from his father > Abū Hurayrah

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.

مسلم:١٠١٤b – حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَتَصَدَّقُ أَحَدٌ بِتَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ إِلاَّ أَخَذَهَا اللَّهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ قَلُوصَهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ أَوْ أَعْظَمَ

malik:58-1 – Mālik > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Abū al-Ḥubāb Saʿīd b. Yasār

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Abu'l-Hubab Said ibn Yasar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever gives sadaqa from good earning - and Allah only accepts the good - it is as if he placed it in the palm of the Merciful to raise it, as one of you raises his foal or young camel until it is like the mountain "

مالك:٥٨-١ – حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحُبَابِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ وَلاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ طَيِّبًا كَانَ إِنَّمَا يَضَعُهَا فِي كَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ يُرَبِّيهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ

ahmad:9433 – Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > Yaʿqūb / Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Suhayl b. Abū Ṣāliḥ from his father > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No one gives a date in charity from a lawful source, except that Allah takes it in His right hand and grows it for him just as one of you grows his young horse, until it becomes like a mountain or even greater."

أحمد:٩٤٣٣ – حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَتَصَدَّقُ أَحَدٌ بِتَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ إِلَّا أَخَذَهَا اللهُ بِيَمِينِهِ يُرَبِّيهَا لَهُ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ لَهُ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ أَوْ أَعْظَمَ

bayhaqi:7838 – Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ And ʾAbū Muḥammad b. Abū Ḥāmid al-Muqriʾ Waʾabū Bakr b. al-Ḥasan al-Qāḍī > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad al-Dūrī > Abū al-Naḍr Hāshim b. al-Qāsim > Warqāʾ > ʿAbdullāh b. Dīnār > Saʿīd b. Yasār > Abū Hurayrah ؓ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever gives in charity a date from lawful earnings, and does not take anything except what is good, then Allah accepts it with His right hand and nurtures it for its owner as one of you nurtures a foal until it becomes like the mountain of Uhud.”

البيهقي:٧٨٣٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ أَبِي حَامِدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ ثنا أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ثنا وَرْقَاءُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعَدْلِ تَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى اللهِ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَتَقَبَّلُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ وَيُرَبِّيهَا لِصَاحِبِهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ

أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فَقَالَ وَقَالَ وَرْقَاءُ فَذَكَرَهُ وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ
