«قال رجل: لأتصدقن الليلة بصدقة فخرج بصدقته فوضعها في يد سارق فأصبحوا يتحدثون: تصدق الليلة على سارق فقال: اللهم لك الحمد على سارق! لأتصدقن الليلة بصدقة فخرج بصدقته فوضعها في يد زانية فأصبحوا يتحدثون: تصدق الليلة على زانية! فقال: اللهم لك الحمد على زانية! لأتصدقن الليلة بصدقة فخرج بصدقته فوضعها في يد غني فأصبحوا يتحدثون: تصدق الليلة على غني فقال: اللهم لك الحمد على سارق وعلى زانية وعلى غني فأتي فقيل له: أما صدقتك على سارق فلعله أن يستعف عن سرقته وأما الزانية فلعلها أن تستعف عن زناها وأما الغني فلعله أن يعتبر فينفق مما أعطاه الله»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"A man said: 'I will certainly give charity tonight.' So he went out with his charity and (unknowingly) placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning people began talking: 'Charity was given to a thief last night.' He said: 'O Allah, all praise is Yours, (my charity went) to a thief! I will certainly give charity again tonight.' So he went out with his charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning people began talking: 'Charity was given to an adulteress last night.' He said: 'O Allah, all praise is Yours, (my charity went) to an adulteress! I will certainly give charity again tonight.' So he went out with his charity and placed it in the hand of a wealthy man. In the morning people began talking: 'Charity was given to a wealthy man last night.' He said: 'O Allah, all praise is Yours, (my charity went) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man!' Then (an angel) came to him and he was told: 'As for your charity to the thief, perhaps he will refrain from his stealing; as for the adulteress, perhaps she will refrain from her adultery; and as for the wealthy man, perhaps he will take a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him.'"
