muslim:2588Yaḥyá b. Ayyūb And Qutaybah And Ibn Ḥujr > Ismāʿīl Wahū Ibn Jaʿfar > al-ʿAlāʾ from his father > Abū Hurayrah

from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "(1) Charity does not decrease wealth, (2) no one forgives another except that Allah increases his honor, and (3) no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah except that Allah raises his status."  

مسلم:٢٥٨٨حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «(١) مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ، (٢) وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلاَّ عِزًّا، (٣) وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ۔»
