Hadith 3611
عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((فِي الْإِنْسَانِ سِتُّونَ وَثَلاثُمِائَةِ مَفْصِلٍ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَفْصِلٍ مِنْهَا صَدَقَةً))، قَالُوا: فَمَنِ الَّذِي يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ!? قَالَ: ((النُّخَاعَةُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تَدْفِنُهَا وَالشَّيْءُ تُنَحِّيهِ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَقْدِرْ فَرَكْعَتَا الضُّحَى تُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: There are (360) joints in the human body, and it is necessary for him to give charity on behalf of each joint every day. The companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who can give so much charity every day on behalf of each joint? He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Burying the spit lying in the mosque is also charity, removing something harmful from the path is also charity, and if you do not have the strength to do these acts, then two rak‘ahs of Duha (forenoon) prayer will suffice for you (and the charity of all the joints will be fulfilled).
Hadith 3612
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((كُلُّ سُلَامَى مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ))، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنْ سَلَامَكَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَإِمَاطَتُكَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَإِنَّ أَمْرَكَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَنَهْيَكَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ))، وَحَدَّثَ بِأَشْيَاءَ مِنْ نَحْوِ هَذَا لَمْ أَحْفَظْهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is obligatory upon the son of Adam that every morning he gives charity on behalf of every joint of his body. This was difficult for the Companions, then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Your saying salam (greeting of peace) to people is also charity, removing something harmful from the path is also charity, enjoining good and forbidding evil is also charity. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned many such good deeds, but I do not remember them.
Hadith 3613
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ((كُلُّ نَفْسٍ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهَا الصَّدَقَةُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ، فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَعْدِلَ بَيْنَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ صَدَقَةٌ وَأَنْ يُعِينَ الرَّجُلَ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فَيَحْمِلَهُ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَيَرْفَعَ مَتَاعَهُ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَيُمِيطُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ خُطْوَةٍ يَمْشِي إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ صَدَقَةٌ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is necessary for every person to give charity daily, and some of its forms are as follows: reconciling between two people is charity, helping someone to mount his ride and seating him on it is charity, placing someone’s belongings on his ride is charity, removing something harmful from the path is charity, speaking a good word is charity, and every step taken towards prayer is also charity.
Hadith 3614
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَصَدَّقُ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا أَمْوَالٌ؟ قَالَ: ((لِأَنَّ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ التَّكْبِيرَ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، وَتَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَتَعْزِلُ الشَّوْكَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ النَّاسِ وَالْعَظْمَ وَالْحَجَرَ، وَتَهْدِي الْأَعْمَى، وَتُسْمِعُ الْأَصَمَّ وَالْأَبْكَمَ حَتَّى يَفْقَهَ، وَتَدُلُّ الْمُسْتَدِلَّ عَلَى حَاجَةٍ لَهُ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَكَانَهَا وَتَسْعَى بِشِدَّةِ سَاقَيْكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَانِ الْمُسْتَغِيثِ، وَتَرْفَعُ بِشِدَّةِ ذِرَاعَيْكَ مَعَ الضَّعِيفِ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ مِنْكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ، وَلَكَ فِي جِمَاعِ زَوْجَتِكَ أَجْرٌ))، قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: كَيْفَ يَكُونُ لِي أَجْرٌ فِي شَهْوَتِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ فَأَدْرَكَ وَرَجَوْتَ خَيْرَهُ فَمَاتَ أَكُنْتَ تَحْتَسِبُ بِهِ؟)) قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: ((فَأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهُ؟)) قَالَ: بَلِ اللَّهُ خَلَقَهُ، قَالَ: ((فَأَنْتَ هَدَيْتَهُ؟)) قَالَ: بَلِ اللَّهُ هَدَاهُ، قَالَ: ((فَأَنْتَ تَرْزُقُهُ؟)) قَالَ: بَلِ اللَّهُ كَانَ يَرْزُقُهُ، قَالَ: ((كَذَلِكَ فَضَعْهُ فِي حَلَالِهِ وَجَنِّبْهُ حَرَامَهُ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَحْيَاهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَمَاتَهُ وَلَكَ أَجْرٌ))
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I repeated this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that it is obligatory for every person to give charity on himself every day. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! How can I give charity, when we do not possess any wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Saying "Allahu Akbar", "Subhanallah", "Alhamdulillah", "La ilaha illallah", and "Astaghfirullah" is also charity. Enjoining good and forbidding evil is also charity. Removing thorns, bones, stones, etc. from people's path, guiding a blind person, making a mute or deaf person understand something, if you have knowledge, guiding someone who seeks guidance for a need, running quickly to help a distressed person who calls for help, and giving full support to the weak—these are all acts of charity from you for yourself. In fact, even having intercourse with your wife is a cause of reward. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: How will there be reward for me in my desire? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Tell me, if you had a son, he reached maturity, and you hoped for good from him, but he died—would you be patient over it? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you create him? I said: No, rather Allah Almighty created him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you guide him? I said: No, rather Allah Almighty guided him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you provide for him? I said: No, rather Allah Almighty provided for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is just like that; just as Allah Almighty fulfilled all the needs and necessities of the child, but you received reward for his death. In the same way, if you use your private part in a lawful place and avoid the unlawful, if Allah wills, He will protect it, and if He wills, He will cause it to die, and you will receive reward.
Hadith 3615
عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ عَنْ جَسَدِهِ بِشَيْءٍ كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ بِقَدْرِ ذُنُوبِهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever gives something in charity on behalf of his body, Allah Almighty will make it an expiation for him equal to the amount of his sins.
