00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,200
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,029
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

3
00:00:10,029 --> 00:00:14,029
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:14,029 --> 00:00:18,030
"No one gives charity from what is pure—

5
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:21,550
and Allah only accepts what is pure—

6
00:00:21,550 --> 00:00:24,750
but that the Most Merciful takes it with His Right Hand,

7
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:26,750
even if it be a single date,

8
00:00:26,750 --> 00:00:29,980
and it grows in the palm of the Most Merciful

9
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:33,179
until it becomes greater than a mountain,

10
00:00:33,179 --> 00:00:38,340
just as one of you nurtures his young horse or his young camel."

11
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:40,340
Recorded by Muslim.

12
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:43,570
The meaning of the hadith is:

13
00:00:43,570 --> 00:00:49,969
That Allah the Exalted only accepts charity that is earned through pure means.

14
00:00:49,969 --> 00:00:53,570
He accepts even a small amount, even if it is only a single date.

15
00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:58,369
Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, accepts it with His Right Hand as an honor to it.

16
00:00:58,770 --> 00:01:03,570
Then He causes it to grow and multiplies its reward so that it will be heavy on the scales.

17
00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:05,969
Just as a person nurtures his young horse,

18
00:01:05,969 --> 00:01:08,769
which is the foal of a horse,

19
00:01:08,769 --> 00:01:11,969
that requires care and upbringing,

20
00:01:11,969 --> 00:01:13,569
or his young camel,

21
00:01:13,569 --> 00:01:17,569
which is the offspring of a she-camel once it has been weaned from its mother’s milk,

22
00:01:17,569 --> 00:01:23,569
until the charity becomes like a mountain in size and weight on the Day of Resurrection.
