بَابُ مَا يَجِبُ مِنْ عَوْنِ الْمَلْهُوْفِChapter: Helping the Distressed is Obligatory
Hadith 306
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ جَدِّي، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَدَقَةٌ“، قَالَ: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ؟ قَالَ: ”فَلْيَعْمَلْ، فَلْيَنْفَعْ نَفْسَهُ، وَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ“، قَالَ: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ، أَوْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: ”لِيُعِنْ ذَا الْحَاجَةِ الْمَلْهُوفَ“، قَالَ: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ، أَوْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: ”فَلْيَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ“، قَالَ: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ، أَوْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: ”يُمْسِكْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ، فَإِنَّهَا لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "It is obligatory for every Muslim to give charity (every day)." It was asked: If he is not able to give charity, then what should he do? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He should work with his hands, benefit himself, and also give charity." It was asked: Tell us, if he is not able to do that or does not do it, then what? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He should help someone in need." The questioner asked: Tell us, if he is not able to do that or does not do it, then what? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He should enjoin good." It was asked: If he is not able to do that or does not do it, then what should he do? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He should refrain from evil and harm; that too is charity for him."
