[Machine] "People used to seek good omens by examining the characteristics of their fruits. So Allah, the Almighty, revealed the following verse: 'Do not seek to gain evil omens from it that you may spend your wealth, while you know its harm; and you will not obtain anything except that you overlook its evil.' [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:267] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then prohibited seeking omens from two things: the jujube fruit and the hubeiq fruit."  

كَانَ أُنَاسٌ يَتَيَمَّمُونَ شِرَارَ ثِمَارِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ} [البقرة 267] قَالَ فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَوْنَيْنِ عَنِ الْجُعْرُورِ وَعَنْ لَوْنِ الْحُبَيْقِ  

"Sahl bin Abi Hathmah came to us when we were in the market and said: "The Messenger of Allah said: When you have estimated, take two-thirds (of the portion you have estimated as Zakah) and leave one-third, and if you do not take (two-thirds) or leave one-third. (One of the reporters) Shu 'bah doubted - leave one quarter." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2491)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا خَرَصْتُمْ فَخُذُوا وَدَعُوا الثُّلُثَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَأْخُذُوا أَوْ تَدَعُو الثُّلُثَ شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ فِي الثُّلُثِ فَدَعُوا الرُّبُعَ»  

[Machine] And he said: "When you come to a land, cultivate it and leave for them what they eat."  

وَقَالَ «إِذَا أَتَيْتَ أَرْضًا فَاخْرُصْهَا وَدَعْ لَهُمْ قَدْرَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ»  

[Machine] A man from the Banu 'Amir passed by him, and it was said, "This man is one of the wealthiest people." Abu Huraira called him and asked him about that. It was said, "Yes, I have a hundred red camels, and I have a hundred black camels, and I have such and such a number of sheep." Abu Huraira said, "Beware of exaggerating in your camels and your sheep. Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'No man has camels, and he does not fulfill their rights regarding their food and water, their crossings, their difficulties and ease, except that a bald spot appears on his head, and he comes walking on his feet as a result of the camels walking on his feet. Whenever they pass, the last ones are sent back to him before the first ones on a day whose duration is fifty thousand years, until Allah judges between people, and he sees his path. And there is no servant who possesses cows and does not fulfill their rights regarding their food and water, their good condition, and their signs of health, except that a bald spot appears on his head, and he comes walking on his feet as a result of the cows walking on his feet. Whenever they pass, the last ones are sent back to him before the first ones on a day whose duration is fifty thousand years, until Allah judges between people, and he sees his path.'” Abbas said to him, "What are the rights of the camels, O Abu Huraira?" He said, "They should be given the best, they should be given water abundantly, they should be fattened, their backs should be protected, and they should be given milk."  

أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ فَقِيلَ هَذَا مِنْ أَكْثَرِ النَّاسِ مَالًا فَدَعَاهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقِيلَ نَعَمْ لِي مِائَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَلِي مِائَةٌ أَدْمَاءُ وَلِي كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِيَّاكَ وَأَخْفَافَ الْإِبِلِ إِيَّاكَ وَأَظْلَافَ الْغَنَمِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ إِبِلٌ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهَا فِي نَجْدَتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا عُسْرِهَا وَيُسْرِهَا إِلَّا بَرَزَ لَهُ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ فَجَاءَتْهُ كَأَغَذِّ مَا تَكُونُ وَأَسَرَّهُ وَأَسْمَنَهُ أَوْ أَعْظَمَهُ شُعْبَةُ شَكَّ فَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَخْفَافِهَا وَتَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا كُلَّمَا جَازَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَاهَا أُعِيدَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَرَى سَبِيلَهُ وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ بَقَرٌ لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهَا فِي نَجْدَتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَنَجْدِتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا عُسْرِهَا وَيُسْرِهَا إِلَّا بَرَزَ لَهُ بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ كَأَغَذِّ مَا تَكُونُ وَأَسَرَّهُ وَأَسْمَنَهُ وَأَعْظَمَهُ فَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَظْلَافِهَا وَتَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا كُلَّمَا جَازَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا أُعِيدَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَاهَا فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَرَى سَبِيلَهُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ وَمَا حَقُّ الْإِبِلِ أَيْ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ قَالَ «تُعْطِيَ الْكَرِيمَةَ وَتَمْنَحُ الْغَزِيرَةَ وَتُفْقِرُ الظُّهْرَ وَتُطْرِقُ الْفَحْلَ وَتَسْقِي اللَّبَنَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to take charity from the pre-Islamic treasures and he gave Bilal ibn al-Harith an agate. When Umar came, he said to Bilal, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ didn't give you this agate to keep it away from the people. He only gave it to you so that you could work with it." Umar then cut the agate for the people. Bukhari and Muslim both narrated this incident.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ فِي الْمَعَادِنِ الْقَبْلِيَّةِ الصَّدَقَةَ وَأَنَّهُ قَطَعَ لِبِلَالِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْعَقِيقَ أَجْمَعَ» فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ قَالَ لِبِلَالٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَقْطَعْكَ لِتَحْتَجِزَهُ عَنِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يَقْطَعْكَ إِلَّا لِيُعْمَلَ قَالَ فَأَقْطَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لِلنَّاسِ الْعَقِيقَ «قَدِ احْتَجَّ الْبُخَارِيُّ بِنُعَيْمِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ وَمُسْلِمٌ بِالدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ وَ  

the Messenger of Allah sent a man from Banu Makhzun to collect charity, so he said to Abu Rafi: "Accompany me so that perhaps you may have some of it." So he said: "Not until I ask the Messenger of Allah." So he went to the Prophet to ask him, and he said: "Charity is not lawful for us, and to be the Mawda of a people to be the same as them." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 657)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي رَافِعٍ اصْحَبْنِي كَيْمَا نُصِيبَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ لَا حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا وَإِنَّ مَوَالِيَ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The person who hoards will not enter Paradise." Yazid bin Harun said, "He means the one who engages in usury."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَدْخُلُ صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ الْجَنَّةَ» قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ «يَعْنِي الْعَشَّارَ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ was in her house with some of his companions talking when a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, how much charity is required for such and such amount of dates?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "For such and such amount of dates, this much charity is required." Then the man said, "Indeed, so-and-so has wronged me and took from me such and such amount, increasing it by a sa' (a unit of measurement)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "So what would you do if someone does more harm to you than this harm?" The people became engaged in the conversation and the narrative became fascinating, until a man among them said, "O Messenger of Allah, if a man who is absent from you takes care of his camels, his livestock, and his crops, and pays his Zakat (obligatory charity) on them, but his rights are violated, what should he do while he is absent?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever pays his Zakat with good intention, seeking the face of Allah and the Hereafter, and does not keep anything hidden from his wealth, and establishes the prayer and pays the Zakat, then if his rights are violated, he should take his weapon and fight, and if he is killed, he is a martyr."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَعِنْدَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمْ صَدَقَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّ فُلَانًا تَعَدَّى عَلَيَّ فَأَخَذَ مِنِّي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَازْدَادَ صَاعًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَكَيْفَ إِذَا سُمِّي عَلَيْكُمْ مَنْ يَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْكُمْ أَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا التَّعَدِّي» فَخَاضَ النَّاسُ وَبَهَرَ الْحَدِيثُ حَتَّى قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلًا غَائِبًا عَنْكَ فِي إِبِلِهِ وَمَاشِيَتِهِ وَزَرْعِهِ فَأَدَّى زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ فَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ فَكَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَدَّى زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ طَيِّبَةً بِهَا نَفْسُهُ يُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ لَمْ يُغَيِّبْ شَيْئًا مِنْ مَالِهِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَأَدَّى الزَّكَاةَ فَتَعَدَّى عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ فَأَخَذَ سِلَاحَهُ فَقَاتَلَ فَقُتِلَ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ»  

[Machine] Al-Umari informed me that it wouldn't matter to you if you gained weight, and who before you would become lean, and who before me. And with God's assistance, Amr wrote: Peace be upon you. Afterward, I am here for you. A flock of camels has come to you, the first of which is with you, and the last of which is with me. Although I hope to find two ways to carry in the sea. When the first flock arrived, he called Zubair and said, "Go out with the first flock and face it tomorrow. Carry to each household what you can carry to me, and if you are unable to carry it, pass each household with a camel with what is on it, and let them dress people like we dressed them, and let them slaughter the camel, carry its hair, arrange its meat, and tan its skin. Then let them take a bowl of dough and a bowl of fat, and a handful of flour. So let them cook and eat until Allah brings them sustenance." Zubair refused to go out and said, "By Allah, you won't find anything like it until you leave this world." Then he called another person, who I think is Talha, and he came. Then he called Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, and he participated in that. When he returned, he sent him one thousand dinars. Abu Ubaidah said, "I didn't do this for you, son of Khattab. I only did it for Allah, and I don't take anything in return for it." Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us some things that we were hesitant about, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ insisted on them. Accept it, O man, and seek assistance from it in your worldly affairs." Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah accepted it.  

أَخْبَرَنِي الْعُمَرِيُّ مَا تُبَالِي إِذَا سَمِنْتَ وَمَنْ قِبَلَكَ أَنْ أَعْجَفَ وَمَنْ قِبَلِي وَيَا غَوْثَاهُ فَكَتَبَ عَمْرٌو السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ أَتَتْكَ عِيرٌ أَوَّلُهَا عِنْدَكَ وَآخِرُهَا عِنْدِي مَعَ أَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَجِدَ سَبِيلَانِ أَحْمِلُ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَوَّلُ عِيرٍ دَعَا الزُّبَيْرَ فَقَالَ «اخْرُجْ فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ الْعِيرِ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ بِهَا غَدًا فَاحْمِلْ إِلَى كُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مَا قَدَرْتَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ إِلَيَّ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ حَمْلَهُ فَمُرْ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ بِبَعِيرٍ بِمَا عَلَيْهِ وَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُلْبِسُوا النَّاسَ كَمَا أَتَيْنَ وَلْيَنْحَرُوا الْبَعِيرَ فَيَحْمِلُوا شَعْرَهُ وَلْيُقَدِّدُوا لَحْمَهُ وَلْيَحْتَذُوا جِلْدَهُ ثُمَّ لِيَأْخُذُوا كُبَّةً مِنْ قَدِيدٍ وَكُبَّةً مِنْ شَحْمٍ وَجَفْنَةٍ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ فَلْيَطْبُخُوا وَلْيَأَكْلُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرِزْقٍ» فَأَبَى الزُّبَيْرِ أَنْ يَخْرُجُ فَقَالَ «أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَا تَجِدُ مِثْلَهَا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا» ثُمَّ دَعَا آخَرَ أَظُنُّهُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَتَى ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ فَخَرَجَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَلْفِ دِينَارٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَعْمَلْ لَكَ يَا ابْنَ خَطَّابٍ إِنَّمَا عَمِلْتُ لِلَّهِ وَلَسْتُ آخُذُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «قَدْ أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَشْيَاءَ بَعَثَنَا فِيهَا فَكَرِهْنَا فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاقْبَلْهَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِهَا عَلَى دُنْيَاكَ» فَقَبِلَهَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ  

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: When we appoint someone to an administrative post and provide him with an allowance, anything he takes beyond that is unfaithful dealing. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2943)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَرَزَقْنَاهُ رِزْقًا فَمَا أَخَذَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غُلُولٌ»  

Al-Mustawrid heard the Prophet ﷺ say: He who acts as an employee for us must get a wife; if he has not a servant, he must get one, and if he has not a dwelling, he must get one. He said that Abu Bakr reported: I was told that the Prophet ﷺ said: He who takes anything else he is unfaithful or thief. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2945)  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كَانَ لَنَا عَامِلًا فَلْيَكْتَسِبْ زَوْجَةً وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَلْيَكْتَسِبْ خَادِمًا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَسْكَنٌ فَلْيَكْتَسِبْ مَسْكَنًا» قَالَ وَأُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اتَّخَذَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غَالٌّ أَوْ سَارِقٌ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The official who collects sadaqah (zakat) in a just manner is like him who fights in Allah's path till he returns home. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2936)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْعَامِلُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ بِالْحَقِّ كَالْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ»  

[Machine] Sufyan used to pray with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, facing both Qiblas. He said, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "The best charity is that given by a person with surplus wealth to his relatives."  

سُفْيَانُ وَكَانَتْ قَدْ صَلَّتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الْكَاشِحِ»  

the Messenger of Allah said: “Charity given to the poor is charity, and that given to a relative is two things: charity and upholding the ties of kinship.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1844)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِنَّهَا عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ اثْنَتَانِ صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَةٌ  

the Messenger of Allah said: “Charity is not permissible for a rich person, or for one who is strong and healthy. ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1839)   

«لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ وَلَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , he said: "Charity is not permissible for a wealthy person or for one who is capable." This is what Ath-Thawri and Shu'bah said, and in the narration of Ibrahim ibn Sa'd, it is mentioned as "fair."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ وَلَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ قَوِيٍّ» هَكَذَا قَالَ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ وَفِي حَدِيثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ «سَوِيٍّ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who begs (from people) when he is affluent will come on the Day of Resurrection with scrapes, scratchings, or lacerations on his face. He was asked: What constitutes affluence, Messenger of Allah? He replied:It is fifty dirhams or its value in gold. The narrator Yahya said: Abdullah ibn Sufyan said to Sufyan: I remember that Shu'bah does not narrate from Hakim ibn Jubayr. Sufyan said: Zubayr transmitted to us this tradition from Muhammad ibn AbdurRahman ibn Yazid. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1626)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ خُمُوشٌ أَوْ خُدُوشٌ أَوْ كُدُوحٌ فِي وَجْهِهِ» فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْغِنَى؟ قَالَ «خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَمًا أَوْ قِيمَتُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ» قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ لِسُفْيَانَ حِفْظِي أَنَّ شُعْبَةَ كَانَ لَا يَرْوِي عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا زُبَيْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Sadaqah may not be given to rich man, with the exception of five classes: One who fights in Allah's path, or who collects it, or a debtor, or a man who buys it with his money, or a man who has a poor neighbour who has been given sadaqah and gives a present to the rich man. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1635)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ إِلَّا لِخَمْسَةٍ لِغَازٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ لِعَامِلٍ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ لِغَارِمٍ أَوْ لِرَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ جَارٌ مِسْكِينٌ فَتُصُدِّقَ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ فَأَهْدَى الْمِسْكِينُ الْغَنِيَّ  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi praised what was narrated from Malik, from Zaid ibn Aslam, from Ata ibn Yasar, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Donations are only permissible for five [purposes]." He mentioned this hadith in a condition in his sermon that it is authentic. Malik could send in the hadith and receive it, or he could transmit it from someone trustworthy. The saying about it is the saying of the trustworthy one who transmits and attributes it.  

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ إِلَّا لِخَمْسَةٍ» فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ هَذَا مِنْ شَرْطِي فِي خُطْبَةِ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّهُ صَحِيحٌ فَقَدْ يُرْسِلُ مَالِكٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَيَصِلُهُ أَوْ يُسْنِدُهُ ثِقَةٌ وَالْقَوْلُ فِيهِ قَوْلُ الثِّقَةِ الَّذِي يَصِلُهُ وَيُسْنِدُهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If one who is afflicted with poverty refers it to me, his poverty will not be brought to an end; but if one refers it to Allah, He will soon give him sufficiency, either by a speedy death or by a sufficiency which comes later. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1645)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ فَأَنْزَلَهَا بِالنَّاسِ لَمْ يَسُدَّ فَاقَتَهُ وَمَنْ أَنْزَلَهَا بِاللَّهِ أَوْشَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِالْغِنَى إِمَّا بِمَوْتٍ آجِلٍ أَوْ غِنًى عَاجِلٍ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Hands are of three types: Allah's hand is the upper one; the bestower's hand is the one near it; the beggar's hand is the lower one. So bestow what is surplus, and do not submit yourself to the demand of your soul. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1649)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى فَأَعْطِ الْفَضْلَ وَلَا تَعْجِزْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Hands are of three types, one is spread out till the end of the Hadith."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ» مُسْقَطٌ عَلَى إِتْمَامِ الْحَدِيثِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There are three hands of Allah: the upper hand of Allah, the giving hand that follows it, and the lower hand of the one who seeks help, until the Day of Resurrection. So, refrain from asking as much as you can."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْأَيْدِي ثَلَاثَةٌ يَدُ اللَّهِ الْعُلْيَا وَيَدُ الْمُعْطِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَيَدُ السَّائِلِ السُّفْلَى إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَاسْتَعِفَّ عَنِ السُّؤَالِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ  

[Machine] "Regarding the question, do what you can."  

عَنِ السُّؤَالِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»  

When this verse was revealed: "And those who hoard gold and silver," the Muslims were grieved about it. Umar said: I shall dispel your care. He, therefore, went and said: Prophet of Allah, your Companions were grieved by this verse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah has made zakat obligatory simply to purify your remaining property, and He made inheritances obligatory that they might come to those who survive you. Umar then said: Allah is most great. He then said to him: Let me inform you about the best a man hoards; it is a virtuous woman who pleases him when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives her a command, and guards his interests when he is away from her. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1664)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ} [التوبة 34] الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ كَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَنَا أُفَرِّجُ عَنْكُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ كَبُرَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَفْرِضِ الزَّكَاةَ إِلَّا لِيُطَيِّبَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَإِنَّمَا فَرَضَ الْمَوَارِيثَ وَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ» قَالَ فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed the sadaqah (alms) relating to the breaking of the fast as a purification of the fasting from empty and obscene talk and as food for the poor. If anyone pays it before the prayer (of 'Id), it will be accepted as zakat. If anyone pays it after the prayer, that will be a sadaqah like other sadaqahs (alms). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1609)  

«فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ طُهْرَةً لِلصِّيَامِ مِنَ اللَّغْوِ وَالرَّفَثِ وَطُعْمَةً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ مَنْ أَدَّاهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ زَكَاةٌ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ»  

[Machine] "People used to give Zakat al-Fitr during the time of the Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him, as a saa' of dates or a saa' of barley or a saa' of raisins or a saa' of wheat."  

«كَانَ النَّاسُ يُخْرِجُونَ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ سُلْتٍ أَوْ زَبِيبٍ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "When he (referring to Prophet Muhammad) mandated the payment of Zakat al-Fitr, he ordered to give a Sa'a (a measure) of dates or a Sa'a of barley, and nothing else was to be given as Zakat al-Fitr except dates."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ حِينَ فَرَضَ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَكَانَ لَا يُخْرَجُ إِلَّا التَّمْرُ  

Qais bin Sa'ad said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined Sadaqatul-Fitr upon is before (the command of) Zakat was revealed. He neither ordered us (to pay) nor forbade us (from paying it), so we did it.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1828)  

«أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered loudly from the belly of Makkah, proclaiming that the Zakat al-Fitr is an obligatory duty upon every Muslim, whether young or old, male or female, free or slave, present or absent. It is to be given in a measure of barley or dates.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ صَارِخًا بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ يُنَادِي إِنَّ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ حَقٌّ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى حُرٍّ أَوْ مَمْلُوكٍ حَاضِرٍ أَوْ بَادٍ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ تَمْرٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ emphasized the importance of giving charity during Ramadan, with each person being urged to give a saa' (a measurement) of dates, barley, or wheat.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَضَّ عَلَى صَدَقَةِ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ قَمْحٍ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ made it incumbent on all the slave or free Muslims, male or female, to pay one Sa' of dates or barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1504)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَرَضَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ بُرٍّ عَلَى كُلِّ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»  

[Machine] Abu Sa'id mentioned to him the payment of Zakat al-Fitr, so he said, "I will not give except what I used to give during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, which is a sa' of dates or a sa' of barley or a sa' of wheat or a sa' of raisins." Then a man from the people or a debtor from the wheat said to him, "What about the value of Mu'awiyah? Will you not accept it or deal with it?" He replied, "That is not the value of Mu'awiyah. I neither accept it nor deal with it." These are the chains of narrations that I mentioned in relation to the mention of the measurement of barley. All of them are authentic, and the most famous of them is the hadith of Abu Mas'har from Nafi' from Ibn 'Umar, which we have high regard for. However, I left it because it is not a condition of the book. It was also narrated from Ali ibn Abi Talib.  

أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ صَدَقَةُ الْفِطْرِ فَقَالَ «لَا أُخْرِجُ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُ أُخْرِجُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ أَقِطٍ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَوْ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا تِلْكَ قِيمَةُ مُعَاوِيَةَ لَا أَقْبَلُهَا وَلَا أَعْمَلُ بِهَا» هَذِهِ الْأَسَانِيدُ الَّتِي قَدَّمْتُ ذِكْرَهَا فِي ذِكْرِ صَاعِ الْبُرِّ كُلُّهَا صَحِيحَةٌ وَأَشْهَرُهَا حَدِيثُ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ الَّذِي عَلَوْنَا فِيهِ لَكِنِّي تَرَكْتُهُ إِذْ لَيْسَ مِنْ شَرْطِ الْكِتَابِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said regarding the Zakat al-Fitr (charity given at the end of Ramadan): 'For every free person, whether young or old, and for every slave, a saa' (measurement) of wheat or a saa' of dates.' 'This is transmitted from Ali and others have confirmed it.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ عَنْ كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ صَاعٌ مِنْ بُرٍّ أَوْ صَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ «هَكَذَا أُسْنِدَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَوَقَفَهُ غَيْرُهُ»  

Abu Dawud said “I heard Muhammad bin Isa narrating this tradition who said Mu’tamar narrated it to us. And he (Mu’tamar) said “ I heard Al Hakam bin Aban narrating this tradition. He did not mention the name of Ibn ‘Abbas. Abu Dawud said “Al Hussain bin Huraith wrote to me saying “Al Fadl bin Musa narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas to the same effect from the Prophet ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2225)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered a sermon and said, "Whoever has food should give charity with a sa' [unit of measurement] of wheat, barley, dates, flour, raisins, or salt."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامٌ فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ بُرٍّ أَوْ صَاعٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعٍ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ أَوْ صَاعٍ مِنْ زَبِيبٍ أَوْ صَاعٍ مِنْ سُلْتٍ»  

[Machine] She informed him that they used to give Zakat al-Fitr during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in the measure that sustains the household or the measure that sustains them individually. The people of Madinah all used to do that.  

أَنَّهَا حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا «يُخْرِجُونَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْمُدِّ الَّذِي يَقْتَاتُ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ أَوِ الصَّاعِ الَّذِي يَقْتَاتُونَ بِهِ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ كُلُّهُمْ»  

If anyone guarantees me that he will not beg from people, I will guarantee him Paradise. Thawban said : I (will not beg). He never asked anyone for anything. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1643)  

عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَكَفَّلَ لِي أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا فَأَتَكَفَّلَ لَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ؟» فَقَالَ ثَوْبَانُ أَنَا فَكَانَ لَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا  

‘Abd al-Rahman bin Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Is there anyone of you who provided food to a poor man today? Abu Bakr said I entered the mosque where a beggar was begging ; I found a piece of bread in the hand of ‘Abdal-Rahman which I took and gave it to him (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1670)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ أَطْعَمَ الْيَوْمَ مِسْكِينًا؟» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِسَائِلٍ يَسْأَلُ فَوَجَدْتُ كِسْرَةَ الْخُبْزِ فِي يَدِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَدَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone seeks protection in Allah's name, grant him protection; if anyone begs in Allah's name, give him something; if anyone gives you an invitation, accept it; and if anyone does you a kindness, recompense him; but if you have not the means to do so, pray for him until you feel that you have compensated him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1672)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَعَاذَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعِيذُوهُ وَمَنْ دَعَاكُمْ فَأَجِيبُوهُ وَمَنْ أَهْدَى إِلَيْكُمْ فَكَافِئُوهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا مَا تُكَافِئُونَهُ فَادْعُوا لَهُ حَتَّى تَرَوْنَ أَنْ قَدْ كَافَأْتُمُوهُ»  

[Machine] Abu Awana praised and as for the speech of Jarir  

ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ جَرِيرٍ  

[Machine] Thanaa Jarir, and as for the story of Abdul Aziz ibn Muslim  

ثنا جَرِيرٌ وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ  

[Machine] About Mujahid and with Al-A'mash, there is another authentic chain that meets their conditions.  

عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ وَعِنْدَ الْأَعْمَشِ فِيهِ إِسْنَادٌ آخِرُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِهِمَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever asks you for something in the name of Allah, give it to him, and whoever seeks refuge with you in the name of Allah, grant him refuge, and whoever invites you, respond to him." This is a sound chain of narration, as it has been authenticated by both Al-A'mash and the two sheikhs, and we adhere to our principle of accepting additional trustworthy narrators in the chains of transmission and texts.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَعَاذَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعِيذُوهُ وَمَنْ دَعَاكُمْ فَأَجِيبُوهُ» هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ فَقَدْ صَحَّ عِنْدَ الْأَعْمَشِ الْإِسْنَادَانِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَنَحْنُ عَلَى أَصْلِنَا فِي قَبُولِ الزِّيَادَاتِ مِنَ الثِّقَاتِ فِي الْأَسَانِيدِ وَالْمُتُونِ  

While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man brought him some gold equal in weight to an egg, and said: Messenger of Allah, I have got this from a mine; take it; it is sadaqah. I have no more than this. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned his attention from him. Then he came to him from his right side and repeated the same words. But he (the Prophet) turned his attention from him. He then came to him from his left side and repeated the same words. But he (again) turned his attention from him. He then came to him from behind. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it and threw it away. Had it hit him, it would have hurt him or wounded him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One of you brings all that he possesses and says: This is sadaqah. Then he sits down and spreads his hand before the people. The best sadaqah is that which leaves a competence. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1673)  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ بِمِثْلِ بَيْضَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَصَبْتُ هَذِهِ مِنْ مَعْدِنٍ فَخُذْهَا فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ مَا أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَأَخَذَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَذَفَهُ بِهَا فَلَوْ أَصَابَتْهُ لَأَوْجَعَتْهُ وَلَعَقَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِي أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَا يَمْلِكُ فَيَقُولُ هَذِهِ صَدَقَةٌ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ يَسْتَكِفُّ النَّاسَ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى»  

A man entered the mosque. The Prophet ﷺ commanded the people to throw their clothes as sadaqah. Thereupon they threw their clothes (as sadaqah). He then asked him to take two clothes from them. He reprimanded him and said: Take your clothe. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1675)  

سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ الْمَسْجِدَ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَطْرَحُوا لَهُ ثِيَابًا فَطَرَحُوا لَهُ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ مِنْهَا بِثَوْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ حَثَّ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَاءَ فَطَرَحَ أَحَدَ الثَّوْبَيْنِ فَصَاحَ بِهِ وَقَالَ «خُذْ ثَوْبَكَ»  

Abu Hurairah reported I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ, What kind of sadaqah is most excellent? He replied What a man with little property can afford to give; and begin with those for whom you are responsible. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1677)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «جَهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us one day to give sadaqah. At that time I had some property. I said: Today I shall surpass AbuBakr if I surpass him any day. I, therefore, brought half my property. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: What did you leave for your family? I replied: The same amount. AbuBakr brought all that he had with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him: What did you leave for your family? He replied: I left Allah and His Apostle for them. I said: I shall never compete you in anything. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1678)   

سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا أَنْ نَتَصَدَّقَ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ مَالًا عِنْدِي فَقُلْتُ الْيَوْمَ أَسْبِقُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنْ سَبَقْتُهُ يَوْمًا فَجِئْتُ بِنِصْفِ مَالِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ مِثْلَهُ وَأَتَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِكُلِّ مَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ؟» فَقَالَ أَبْقَيْتُ لَهُمُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَا أُسَابِقُكَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ أَبَدًا  

[Machine] Saad ibn Ubadah came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, "Which charity do you find most admirable?" The Prophet replied, "Providing water." This was followed by Hammam quoting Qatadah.  

عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَعْجَبُ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «سَقْيُ الْمَاءِ» تَابَعَهُ هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ  

Sa’id reported Sa’d came to the Prophet (SWAS) and asked him Which sadaqah do you like most? He replied Water. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1679)  

أَنَّ سَعْدًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَعْجَبُ إِلَيْكَ؟ فَقَالَ «الْمَاءُ»
