اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ، وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا، وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ، إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Charity does not decrease wealth, and whoever forgives, Allah increases his honor, and whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah raises his rank.”
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1713)
From this hadith, the virtue of charity (sadaqah) is understood: charity does not decrease wealth, rather it increases it. Likewise, through forgiveness, generosity, and pardoning, one’s esteem, status, and honor are elevated; and through humility and modesty, one’s ranks are raised in the sight of Allah Ta‘ala.
Imam Nawawi rahimahullah said: By “Allah raises him,” both worldly honor and status, as well as elevation of ranks in the Hereafter, can be intended.
