24. Zakāh (Ritual Charity)
٢٤۔ كتاب الزكاة
The Prophet ﷺ went out for the ʿId prayer on the ʿId day and offered a two rakʿat prayer; and he neither offered a prayer before it or after it. Then he went towards the women along with Bilal. He preached them and ordered them to give in charity. And some (amongst the women) started giving their forearm bangles and earrings.
خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلُ وَلاَ بَعْدُ ثُمَّ مَالَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْقُلْبَ وَالْخُرْصَ
that his father said, "Whenever a beggar came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ or he was asked for something, he used to say (to his companions), "Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it; and Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet's tongue."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَاءَهُ السَّائِلُ أَوْ طُلِبَتْ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ قَالَ اشْفَعُوا تُؤْجَرُوا وَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ مَا شَاءَ
The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Do not withhold your money, (for if you did so) Allah would withhold His blessings from you." Narrated ʿAbda: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not withhold your money by counting it (i.e. hoarding it), (for if you did so), Allah would also withhold His blessings from you."
لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ تُوكِي فَيُوكَى عَلَيْكِ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ وَقَالَ لاَ تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ
