[Machine] From Abu Dharr, he said: "O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy have taken away all the rewards..." Narrated by Muslim.

عَنْ أبِي ذَرٍّ : «يا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَ أهْلُ الدُّثُورِ بِالأُجُورِ۔۔۔» رَواهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Compete with the wealthy in giving charity through dhikr

(25) muslim:1006ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. Asmāʾ al-Ḍubaʿī > Mahdī b. Maymūn > Wāṣil a freed slave of Abū ʿUyaynah > Yaḥyá b. ʿUqayl > Yaḥyá b. Yaʿmar > Abū al-Aswad al-Dīlī > Abū Dhar

Some people among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said to the Prophet ﷺ: “O Messenger of Allah, the people of wealth have taken all the rewards: they pray as we pray, they fast as we fast, and they give charity from their surplus wealth.”

He said: “Has Allah not made for you something by which you can give charity? Indeed, every glorification (saying subḥān Allāh) is a charity, every magnification (saying Allāhu akbar) is a charity, every praise (saying al-ḥamdu lillāh) is a charity, every declaration of His oneness (saying lā ilāha illā Allāh) is a charity, enjoining what is right is a charity, forbidding what is wrong is a charity, and in the sexual act of one of you there is a charity.”

They said: “O Messenger of Allah, does one of us fulfill his desire and still have a reward in it?” He said: “Do you not see that if he were to place it in what is unlawful, he would bear a sin for it? Likewise, if he places it in what is lawful, he will have a reward.”

(٢٥) مسلم:١٠٠٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ الضُّبَعِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الدُّثُورِ بِالأُجُورِ: يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي, وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ, وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ بِفُضُولِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ.

قَالَ: «أَوَلَيْسَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مَا تَصَّدَّقُونَ؟ إِنَّ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَكُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلِّ تَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلِّ تَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَأَمْرٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَنَهْىٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي بُضْعِ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ»

قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَأْتِي أَحَدُنَا شَهْوَتَهُ وَيَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ قَالَ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ وَضَعَهَا فِي حَرَامٍ أَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا وِزْرٌ فَكَذَلِكَ إِذَا وَضَعَهَا فِي الْحَلاَلِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ»
