Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.
عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَهُ قَوْمٌ حُفَاةٌ عُرَاةٌ مُجْتَابِي النِّمَارِ أَوِ الْعَبَاءِ مُتَقَلِّدِي السُّيُوفِ عَامَّتُهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ، بَلْ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ مُضَرَ، فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَا رَأَى بِهِمْ مِنَ الْفَاقَةِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ، فَقَالَ: {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ {إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا}، وَقَرَأَ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي آخِرِ الْحَشْرِ: {وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ} تَصَدَّقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ دِينَارِهِ، مِنْ دِرْهَمِهِ، مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ، مِنْ صَاعِ بُرِّهِ، مِنْ صَاعِ تَمْرِهِ، حَتَّى قَالَ: وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِصُرَّةٍ كَادَتْ كَفُّهُ تَعْجِزُ عَنْهَا بَلْ قَدْ عَجَزَتْ، ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ كَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَثِيَابٍ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَهَلَّلُ وَجْهُهُ يَعْنِي كَأَنَّهُ مُذْهَبَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً، فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ، وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah Bajali, he says: One day we were present in the service of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and the day was just beginning. Some people came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who had no shoes on their feet and were not fully clothed; they had wrapped themselves in blankets or cloaks and had swords hanging from their shoulders. Most of them, or rather all of them, were from the tribe of Mudar. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw their state of poverty, his blessed face changed. He went into his house, and when he came out, he ordered Sayyiduna Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, to give the call to prayer and the iqamah. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, led the prayer, and after that he delivered a sermon and recited these verses: {یَااَیُّہَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّکُمُ الَّذِی خَلَقَکُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَۃٍ إِنَّ اللّٰہَ کَانَ عَلَیْکُمْ رَقِیْبًا وَخَلَقَ مِنْھَا زَوْجَھَا وَبَثَّ مِنْھُمَا رِجَالًا کَثِیْرًا وَّنِسَائً وَّ اتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ الَّذِیْ تَسَائَ لُوْنَ بِہٖوَالْاَرْحَامَاِنَّاللّٰہَکَانَعَلَیْکُمْ رَقِیْبًا۔} That is: O people! Fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul and created from it its mate and spread from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the ties of kinship. Surely Allah is ever an Observer over you. He also recited this verse from Surah Al-Hashr: {یَا اَیُّھَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا اتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ وَّاتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ خَبِیْرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ۔} That is: O you who believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has sent forth for tomorrow, and fear Allah. Surely Allah is well aware of what you do. Upon hearing this address, someone brought a dinar, someone a dirham, someone brought clothing, someone brought a measure of wheat, and someone brought a measure of dates, and someone even brought a piece of a date. Meanwhile, an Ansari came carrying a bag (which was so heavy that) it seemed his hand would be unable to carry it, and indeed he became unable to carry it. Seeing this, people began to bring charity one after another, until two heaps of food and clothing were formed. I saw that the face of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was shining and looked golden. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever introduces a good practice in Islam, he will have the reward for it and the reward of all those who act upon it after him, without their rewards being diminished in the least. And whoever introduces a bad practice in Islam, he will bear the burden of it and the burden of all those who act upon it after him, without their burdens being diminished in the least.
Hadith 3574
عَنْ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ (بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَا يُخْرِجُ رَجُلٌ شَيْئًا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ حَتَّى يَفْكَّ عَنْهَا لَحْيَيْ سَبْعِينَ شَيْطَانًا))
Narrated by Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whenever a person gives charity, it breaks the jaws of seventy devils.
Hadith 3575
عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ الطَّائِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا سَيُكَلِّمُهُ رَبُّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ تَرْجُمَانٌ، فَيَنْظُرُ عَمَّنْ أَيْمَنَ مِنْهُ، فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ، وَيَنْظُرُ عَمَّنْ أَشَامَ مِنْهُ، فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا شَيْئًا قَدَّمَهُ، وَيَنْظُرُ أَمَامَهُ فَتَسْتَقْبِلُهُ النَّارُ))، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَقِيَ وَجْهَهُ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ))
Narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim Ta’i (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Each one of you will have his Lord speak to him, with no interpreter between him and his Lord. When the servant looks to his right, he will see only what he has sent forth; when he looks to his left, he will see only what he has sent forth; and when he looks in front of him, he will see the Fire facing him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So let any man among you protect his face from the Fire, even if it be by giving half a date in charity.
Hadith 3576
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ النَّارَ فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ))
(3576) (Second Chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: Whoever among you has the ability to protect himself from the Fire, let him give charity, even if it is only in the form of half a date. And whoever does not have even that, then let him try to protect himself (from Hell) through good words.
Hadith 3577
عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ أَنَّ أَبَا الْخَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((كُلُّ امْرِئٍ فِي ظِلِّ صَدَقَتِهِ، حَتَّى يُفْصَلَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَوْ قَالَ: يُحْكَمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ))، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: وَكَانَ أَبُو الْخَيْرِ لَا يُخْطِئُهُ يَوْمٌ إِلَّا تَصَدَّقَ فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَوْ كَعْكَةً، أَوْ بَصَلَةً أَوْ كَذَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, every person will be under the shade of his charity. Yazid bin Abi Habib says: Abu Khayr Mirthad used to give charity every day, whether it was a cake, an onion, or something of that sort.
Hadith 3578
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ: كَانَ مَرْثَدُ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَا يَجِيءُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا وَمَعَهُ شَيْءٌ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ بَصَلَةٌ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَبَا الْخَيْرِ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا يُنْتِنُ عَلَيْكَ ثَوْبَكَ؟ قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي! إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ! مَا كَانَ فِي مَنْزِلِي شَيْءٌ أَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ غَيْرَهُ، إِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((ظِلُّ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَدَقَتُهُ))
. (Second chain) Yazid says: Whenever Mirthad bin Abdullah would come to the mosque, he would have something with him to give in charity. One day when he came, he had an onion with him. I said: Abu al-Khair! What will you do with this? It will make your clothes smell bad. He said: Nephew! By Allah, today there was nothing else in my house to give in charity except this. A companion narrated to me that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: On the Day of Resurrection, a believer’s charity will provide him shade.
Hadith 3579
عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِّي حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ ظِلَّ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَدَقَتُهُ))

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O son of Adam! If you spend what is surplus to your needs in the way of Allah, it will be better for you, and if you keep it saved, it will be bad for you. However, there is no blame on you for keeping what is necessary. And when you spend, begin with those whose maintenance is your responsibility, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand (i.e., the giving hand is better than the receiving hand).
Hadith 3581
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلُهُ

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: At one of the gates of the sky, an angel calls out: Who will give a loan today, so that it may be repaid to him tomorrow (on the Day of Resurrection)? And at another gate, an angel says: O Allah! Grant the spender the best substitute and destroy the wealth of the miser.

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهَا: ((يَا عَائِشَةُ! اسْتَتِرِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَإِنَّهَا تَسُدُّ مِنَ الْجَائِعِ مَسَدَّهَا مِنَ الشَّبْعَانِ))
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Aisha!

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.
Hadith 3586
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَخْلِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ: ((يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! هَلَكَ الْمُكْثِرُونَ، إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ حَتَّى بِكَفِّهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ))

Those who possess much wealth have been ruined, except for those who spend their wealth here, give it there, and distribute it in this direction." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand to the right, to the left, and in front, but such people are few.
Hadith 3587
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (بْنِ مَسْعُودِ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَيُّكُمْ مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ؟)) قَالَ: قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا مَالُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِ وَارِثِهِ، قَالَ: ((اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا مَالُ وَارِثِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ، مَالُكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدَّمْتَ، وَمَالُ وَارِثِكَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who among you is there who loves the wealth of his heir more than his own wealth? The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Each of us loves his own wealth more than that of his heir. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then remember, the wealth of each of you which is dearest to him is actually the wealth of his heir. Your wealth is only that which you have spent and sent ahead, and what you leave behind is the wealth of your heir.
Hadith 3588
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهُمْ ذَبَحُوا شَاةً، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَا بَقِيَ إِلَّا كَتِفُهَا، قَالَ: ((كُلُّهَا قَدْ بَقِيَ إِلَّا كَتِفُهَا))
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that they slaughtered a goat (and distributed its meat), then I informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: O Messenger of Allah! Only a shoulder of this goat’s meat is left. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In reality, all of it remains except for this shoulder (which is lying in the house).
Hadith 3589
وَعَنْهَا أَيْضًا أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَذَكَرَتْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا، فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَعْطِ وَلَا تُوعِي، فَيُوعَى عَلَيْكِ))
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about charity and mentioned a small thing, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Give it and do not be stingy, otherwise stinginess will be shown to you.
Hadith 3590
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَظَرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يَصْرِفُ رَاحِلَتَهُ فِي نَوَاحِي الْقَوْمِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَضْلٌ مِنْ ظَهْرٍ فَلْيَعُدْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ لَا ظَهْرَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ مِنْ زَادٍ، فَلْيَعُدْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْ لَا زَادَ لَهُ)) حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا أَنْ لَا حَقَّ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَّا فِي فَضْلٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saw a man turning his mount to one side of the people. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever has extra riding animal should give it to the one who does not have a riding animal, and whoever has extra provision should give it to the one who does not have provision. Upon hearing this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), it occurred to us that none of us has any right to anything surplus to his need.
