Hazrat Abu Burdah's father narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Charity is obligatory upon every Muslim. The narrator says: It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you say if someone finds nothing to give in charity?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "He should work with his own hands, benefit himself, and also give in charity." Someone asked: "If he is unable to do that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should help someone who is oppressed and needy." Someone asked: "If he is unable to do that as well?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should enjoin good." Someone asked: "If he is unable to do that as well?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should refrain from evil, for verily that too is charity."
