Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whatever a man spends on his family and on himself, it is written for him as charity in return, and whatever a man spends to protect his honor, that too is written for him as charity in return.” I (Abdul Hamid) asked Muhammad bin Munkadir: “What is the meaning of ‘whatever a man spends to protect his honor’?” He said: It means that he gives something (to a poet or a foul-mouthed person) to protect himself from satire or insult.
