Hadith 9183
اُردوEn
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.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Giving charity and forgiving someone’s oppression—only the one who consistently practices these deeds can truly experience the blessings that result from them. Allah Ta’ala keeps such a person safe from trials, grants them tranquility and peace, and keeps their heart ever-fresh.
Except in cases of extreme necessity, asking people for help is impermissible. A person should strive through their own effort, be grateful to Allah Ta’ala for even a small income, make do with what they have, and ask only Allah Ta’ala for an increase in provision.
