البخاري:٦٠٢١حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ»

Alternatives charitable acts when one is not able to give money

bukhari:6022Ādam > Shuʿbah > Saʿīd b. Abū Burdah b. Abū Mūsá al-Ashʿarī from his father from his grandfather

The Prophet ﷺ said, "On every Muslim there is enjoined charity." They asked, "If one has nothing?' He said, "He should work with his hands so that he may benefit himself and give in charity." They said, "If he cannot work or does not work?" He said, "Then he should help the oppressed unhappy person." They said, "If he cannot do that?" He said, "Then he should enjoin what is good." They said, "If he cannot do that?" He said, "Then he should refrain from doing evil, for that will be considered for Him as charity. "

البخاري:٦٠٢٢حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَدَقَةٌ»، قَالُوا: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيَعْمَلُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَيَنْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ»، قَالُوا: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَوْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيُعِينُ ذَا الْحَاجَةِ الْمَلْهُوفَ»، قَالُوا: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْخَيْرِ»، أَوْ قَالَ: «بِالْمَعْرُوفِ» قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيُمْسِكُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ.»
