nasai-kubra:7711Yaʿqūb b. Ibrāhīm > Yaḥyá > Ibn ʿAjlān > Saʿīd b. Yasār > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "There is no Muslim who gives charity from what is good and Allah does not accept it except what is good, and it does not ascend to the heavens except what is good. It is as if he places it in the palm of the Merciful and He raises it up as a man raises up his foal or young horse until such that the date becomes as huge as a great mountain."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِصَدَقَةٍ مِنْ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ إِلَّا طَيِّبًا وَلَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ إِلَّا طَيِّبٌ إِلَّا كَأَنَّهُ يَضَعُهَا فِي كَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي الرَّجُلُ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ التَّمْرَةَ تَعُودُ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ الْعَظِيمِ»

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.

"The Messenger of Allah said: None gives charity from (wealth earned from) a good source - and 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 tended in the hand of the Most Merciful until it becomes grater than a mountain, just as one of you tends his foal or camel calf."'

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Abu'l-Hubab Said ibn Yasar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever gives sadaqa from good earning - and Allah only accepts the good - it is as if he placed it in the palm of the Merciful to raise it, as one of you raises his foal or young camel until it is like the mountain "

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no believing servant who gives charity from what is good and pure, and Allah does not accept anything except what is good and pure. It does not ascend to the heavens except what is good and pure, and He places it in the Hand of the Most Merciful, or in the palm of the Most Merciful, and He cultivates it for him just as one of you raises his young horse or young camel until the date becomes equal to a great mountain."

[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."
