عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَحَالِفًا عَلَيْهِنَّ لَا يَنْقُصُ مَالٌ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ فَتَصَدَّقُوا وَلَا يَعْفُو عَبْدٌ عَنْ مَظْلَمَةٍ يَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا (وَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا عِزًّا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ) وَلَا يَفْتَحُ عَبْدٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ إِلَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ فَقْرٍ
Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Verily, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! There are three things, I certainly swear by them: (1) Wealth does not decrease because of charity, so give charity; (2) When a servant forgives an injustice seeking the pleasure of Allah Almighty, then because of that Allah Almighty elevates him. In one narration: Allah Almighty will increase his honor on the Day of Resurrection; and (3) When a servant opens the door of begging, Allah Almighty opens the door of poverty upon him.
