Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 9190 — on encouragement to forgive wrongs
اُردوEn
عَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ وَلَا عَفَا رَجُلٌ عَنْ مَظْلِمَةٍ إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللَّهُ عِزًّا وَلَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Charity does not decrease wealth, whoever forgives oppression, Allah increases his honor, and whoever adopts humility for the sake of Allah, Allah elevates him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Wealth does not decrease due to charity (sadaqah). The explanation for this is that blessings (barakah) are placed in sustenance (rizq), and those matters which would cause a decrease are removed. In this way, through hidden blessings, any apparent decrease is compensated for. Alternatively, due to charity, such a great reward and recompense is attained that the decrease which occurs cannot even be considered a decrease.
