[Machine] The Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, "No Muslim servant gives in charity from lawful earnings except that Allah accepts it and Allah takes it in His right hand and causes it to grow for him, just as one of you raises his horse, colt, or foal until it becomes like the mountain of Uhud."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one give in charity what equals one date-fruit from the honestly earned money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money --Allah takes it in His right (hand) and then enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his baby horse, so much s that it becomes as big as a mountain

If anyone gives as Sadaqa the equivalent of a date from that (earning) earned honestly, for Allah accepts that which is lawful, the Lord would accept it with His Right Hand, and even if it is a date, it would foster in the Hand of the lord, as one of you fosters his colt, till it becomes bigger than a mountain.

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.

[Machine] Abu Al-Qasim (peace be upon him) said, "No servant gives charity from lawful earnings except that Allah accepts it only if it is pure, and it does not ascend to the heavens except in a pure state, as if he places it in the hand of the Most Merciful and He nurtures it for him, just as one of you nurtures a young horse or camel until even a morsel or a date will appear on the Day of Resurrection as a mountain."  

ابن حبّان:٢٧٠أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَبِي الْحُبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ

أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ «مَا تَصَدَّقَ عَبْدٌ بِصَدَقَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا طَيِّبًا وَلَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ إِلَّا طَيِّبٌ إِلَّا كَأَنَّمَا يَضَعُهَا فِي يَدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا لَهُ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ وَفَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ اللُّقْمَةَ أَوِ التَّمْرَةَ لَتَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ الْعَظِيمِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "One of you might give in charity a date fruit from a good source, but Allah only accepts that which is good. Allah takes it in His hand and grows it as one of you grows his colt or calf, until it becomes in His hand as huge as a mountain."  

ابن حبّان:٣٣١٨أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سِنَانٍ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى الْمَهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِالتَّمْرَةِ إِذَا كَانَتْ مِنْ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبَ فَيَجْعَلُهَا اللَّهُ فِي كَفَّهِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ فِي يَدِهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِثْلَ جَبَلٍ»

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one give in charity what equals one date-fruit from the honestly earned money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money --Allah takes it in His right (hand) and then enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his baby horse, so much s that it becomes as big as a mountain (Using translation from Bukhārī 1410)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعِدْلِ تَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَتَقَبَّلُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يُرَبِّيهَا لِصَاحِبِهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ»

he heard Abu Hurairah say: “The Messenger of Allah said: 'No one gives charity from good sources - for Allah does not accept anything but that which is good - but the Most Merciful takes it in His right hand, even if it is a date, and it flourishes in the Hand of the Most Merciful until it becomes bigger than a mountain and he tends it as anyone of you would tend to his colt (i.e., young pony) or his young (weaned) camel.'” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1842)

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said, "There is no believer who gives charity from lawful earnings and Allah does not accept except what is good, except that Allah takes it with His right hand and nurtures it as one of you nurtures a young horse or young camel, until it becomes like Safa or Marwa, until it reaches the state of maturity."

(Note: Safa and Marwa are two small hills in Mecca that are associated with the rituals of Hajj pilgrimage.)

[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.”
