بَابُ اسْتِحْبَابِ إِعْطَاءِ الصَّدَقَةِ لِلصَّالِحِينَ - وَكَرَاهَةِ إِعْطَائِهَا لِلْقَلْقِلِينَ
Chapter: Recommendation to Give Charity to the Righteous and Dislike of Giving It to the Restless
Hadith 3626
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَمَثَلُ الْإِيمَانِ كَمَثَلِ الْفَرَسِ فِي آخِيَّتِهِ، يَجُولُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى آخِيَّتِهِ وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَسْهُو ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ فَأَطْعِمُوا طَعَامَكُمْ الْأَتْقِيَاءَ وَأَوْلُوا مَعْرُوفَكُمْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of a believer and faith is like that of a horse tied to its stake; it wanders around here and there but returns and stands by the stake. Similarly, a believer may forget, but then he returns to faith. You should feed the righteous and bestow all kinds of goodness upon the people of faith.
Hadith 3627
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو (بْنِ الْعَاصِ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ أَخْرَجَ صَدَقَةً فَلَمْ يَجِدْ إِلَّا بَرْبَرِيًّا، فَلْيَرُدَّهَا))
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever intends to give charity, but finds only an irreligious person to give it to, then he should take his charity back.
