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»  

I had a slave girl and I set her free. When the Prophet ﷺ entered upon me, I informed him (of this). He said : May Allah give reward for it; if you had given her to your maternal uncles, it would have increased your reward (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1690)  

عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَتْ لِي جَارِيَةٌ فَأَعْتَقْتُهَا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «آجَرَكِ اللَّهُ أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ كُنْتِ أَعْطَيْتِيهَا أَخْوَالَكِ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لِأَجْرِكِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ commanded to give sadaqah. A man said: Messenger of Allah, I have a dinar. He said: Spend it on yourself. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your children. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your wife. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your servant. He finally said: I have another. He replied: You know best (what to do with it). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1691)  

أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى وَلَدِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى زَوْجِكَ» أَوْ قَالَ «عَلَى زَوْجَتِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «أَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ»  

It is sufficient sin for a man that he neglects him whom he maintains. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1692)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُضَيِّعَ مَنْ يَقُوتُ»  

[Machine] Abu 'Amir Al-'Aqadi and Abu Dawud Al-Tayalisi narrated to us, they said: Shu'bah narrated to us, and Abu al-'Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, they said: Ibrahim ibn Marzuq narrated to us, and Bishr ibn 'Umar and Wahb ibn Jarir narrated to us, they said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Harith, from Abu Kathir, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon and said, "Beware of miserliness, for indeed those who came before you were destroyed because of it. They were commanded to be stingy, so they became stingy. They were commanded to cut off ties, so they cut off ties. And they were commanded to engage in immoral acts, so they engaged in immoral acts."  

ثنا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ قَالَا ثنا شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَوَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَا ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِالشُّحِّ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْبُخْلِ فَبَخِلُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Every person will remain in the shade of their charity until the judgment is made among the people." Or he said, "until the judgment is passed among the people." Yazid said, and Abu Al-Khair used to say, "A day will not pass without him giving charity, even if it is a small piece of bread or an onion."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «كُلُّ امْرِئٍ فِي ظِلِّ صَدَقَتِهِ حَتَّى يُفْصَلَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ» أَوْ قَالَ «حَتَّى يُحْكَمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ» قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَكَانَ أَبُو الْخَيْرِ «لَا يُخْطِئُهُ يَوْمٌ لَا يَتَصَدَّقُ فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَوْ كَعْكَةً وَلَوْ بَصَلَةً»  

[Machine] Indeed, actions compete with one another so that charity says, "I am the best among you."  

أَنَّ الْأَعْمَالَ تَبَاهَى فَتَقُولُ الصَّدَقَةُ أَنَا أَفْضَلُكُمْ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'A Dirham was better than a hundred thousand Dirhams.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how?' He said: 'A man had two Dirhams and gave one in charity, and another man went to part of his wealth and took out a hundred thousand Dirhams and gave them in charity."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2528)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَبَقَ دِرْهَمٌ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يَسْبِقُ دِرْهَمٌ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ؟ قَالَ «رَجُلٌ لَهُ دِرْهَمَانِ فَأَخَذَ أَحَدَهُمَا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَآخَرُ لَهُ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ فَأَخَذَ مِنْ عُرْضِهَا مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "There are three whom Allah (SWT) loves: A man who comes to some people and asks (to be given something) for the sake of Allah and not for the sake of their relationship, but they do not give him, so a man stayed behind and gave it to him in secret, and no one knew of his giving except Allah (SWT) and the one to whom he gave it. People who travel all night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything equated with it, so they lay down their heads (and slept), then a man among them got up and started praying to Me and beseeching Me, reciting My Verses. And a man who was on a campaign and met the enemy and they fled, but he went forward (pursuing them) until he was killed or victory was granted." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1615)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ وَثَلَاثَةٌ يُبْغِضُهُمُ اللَّهُ أَمَّا الثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فَرَجُلٌ أَتَى قَوْمًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلُهُمْ بِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ فَتَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَعْقَابِهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ سِرًّا لَا يَعْلَمُ بِعَطِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَالَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ وَقَوْمٌ سَارُوا لَيْلَتَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ النَّوْمُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِمَّا يَعْدِلُ بِهِ فَنَزَلُوا فَوَضَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ يَتَمَلَّقُنِي وَيَتْلُو آيَاتِي وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَلَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَهُزِمُوا فَأَقْبَلَ بِصَدْرِهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ أَوْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُهُمُ اللَّهُ الشَّيْخُ الزَّانِي وَالْفَقِيرُ الْمُخْتَالُ وَالْغَنِيُّ الظَّلُومُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man does not give in charity any amount until seventy devils are detached from it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا يَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ حَتَّى يُفَكَّ عَنْهَا لَحْيَيْ سَبْعِينَ شَيْطَانًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ ordered that every wall of the mosque be adorned with a niche.  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ حَائِطٍ بِقِنْوٍ لِلْمَسْجِدِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed the exchange of 'wasq' (a unit of measure for dates) and 'wasqayn' (two 'wasq' combined) and 'thulatha' (three 'wasq' combined) and 'arba'a' (four 'wasq' combined). He stated, "For every ten 'wasq', a qinu (a container) is to be placed in the mosque for the poor."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا الْوَسْقَ وَالْوَسْقَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ وَالْأَرْبَعَةَ وَقَالَ «فِي جَاذِّ كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَوْسُقٍ قِنْوٌ يُوضَعُ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ»  

She took the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him: Messenger of Allah, a poor man stands at my door, but I find nothing to give him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: If you do not find anything to give him, put something in his hand, even though it should be a burnt hoof. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1667)   

أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ حَدَّثَتْهُ وَهِيَ أُمُّ بُجَيْدٍ وَكَانَتْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا مِمَّنْ بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ لَيَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِي فَمَا نَجِدُ لَهُ شَيْئًا أُعْطِيهِ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِي شَيْئًا تُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلَّا ظِلْفًا مُحْرَقًا فَادْفَعِيهِ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَدِهِ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are two types of jealousy, one that Allah loves and the other that Allah hates, and there are two types of suspicion, one that Allah loves and the other that Allah hates. The type of jealousy that Allah loves is when it is regarding something doubtful, and the type of jealousy that Allah hates is when it is regarding something without doubt. And the type of suspicion that Allah loves is when a person gives in charity, and the type of suspicion that Allah hates is when it comes from arrogance."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «غَيْرَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَالْأُخْرَى يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ وَمَخِيلَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَالْأُخْرَى يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ فَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرِّيبَةِ يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِ رِيبَةٍ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ وَالْمَخِيلَةُ إِذَا تَصَدَّقَ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَالْمَخِيلَةُ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: When My servant sought to borrow from Me, but I did not grant him the loan, and he began to curse Me, while he does not know, I say: 'Dahrahu, dahrahu', and I am the Everlasting."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ اسْتَقْرَضْتُ عَبْدِي فَلَمْ يُقْرِضْنِي وَشَتَمَنِي عَبْدِي وَهُوَ لَا يَدْرِي يَقُولُ وَادَهْرَاهُ وَادَهْرَاهُ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ
