Brief Explanation
Explanation: In these ahadith, it has been commanded to save oneself from the fire of Hell through charity and almsgiving, even if it is by means of a single piece of date. That is, whatever is available—whether little or much—spend it in the way of Allah and save yourself from the fire of Hell. It is understood from this that even a small charity given with sincerity of intention will become a means of salvation for a person on the Day of Judgment. There are countless virtues of charity and almsgiving. For details, refer to "Fazail-e-Sadaqat," published by Maktabah Islamiyyah, Lahore.
