اُردوEn
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! كَانَتْ لِي مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ فَتَصَدَّقْتُ مِنْهَا بِعَشَرَةِ دَنَانِيرَ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! كَانَتْ لِي عَشَرَةُ دَنَانِيرَ فَتَصَدَّقْتُ مِنْهَا بِدِينَارٍ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: كَانَ لِي دِينَارٌ فَتَصَدَّقْتُ بِعُشْرِهِ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((كُلُّكُمْ فِي الْأَجْرِ سَوَاءٌ كُلُّكُمْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعُشْرِ مَالِهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that three men came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of them said: O Messenger of Allah! I had one hundred dinars and I gave ten dinars in charity. The second said: O Messenger of Allah! I had ten dinars, and I gave one dinar in charity. The third said: O Messenger of Allah! I had one dinar, and I gave a tenth of it in charity. After hearing their words, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In terms of reward, you are all equal, because each of you has given a tenth of his wealth in charity.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From a spiritual perspective, the issue mentioned in this blessed hadith is correct. In many ahadith, the small amount of charity (sadaqah) given by a person with little wealth has been declared superior. The following blessed hadith also reflects this reality: It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “A single dirham has surpassed one hundred thousand dirhams.” They asked: “How is that?” He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied: “A man had two dirhams; he gave one dirham in charity, and another man went to his large amount of wealth, took out one hundred thousand dirhams from it, and gave it in charity.” (Nasa’i: 2527) Thus, it is evident that a poor person and one with little wealth should also participate in this virtuous act according to his capacity.
