Hadith 3585
اُردوEn
عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((تَصَدَّقُوا فَيُوْشِكُ الرَّجُلُ يَمْشِي بِصَدَقَتِهِ، فَيَقُولُ الَّذِي أُعْطِيَهَا: لَوْ جِئْتَ بِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ قَبِلْتُهَا، وَأَمَّا الْآنَ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا فَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا))
Sayyiduna Haritha bin Wahb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give charity, for a time will soon come when a man will go out with his charity, and whomever he wishes to give it to will say, "If you had brought it yesterday, I would have accepted it, but now I have no need of it." Thus, he will not find anyone who will accept his charity.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … If a person is wealthy and there are deserving people around him, then he should not deprive himself of charity and almsgiving, considering this as a blessing from Allah Ta‘ala, because it is possible that he may soon be included among the list of the needy, or all those around him may become self-sufficient and stand on their own feet.
