Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10064 — What has come on urging charity

Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us and urged us to give charity. The people were slow to give charity, so that signs of anger appeared on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face. Then a man of the Ansar came with a purse and gave the purse to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the rest of the people followed that man of the Ansar, until signs of joy appeared on the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever starts a way and practice of good will have its reward, and the reward of all the people who act upon it will also be his, without anything being reduced from their reward; and whoever starts a practice of evil, its sin is upon him, and the sin of all the people who act upon it will also be upon him, without anything being reduced from their sins."
