Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Don't believe anyone's good deeds
God only accepts what is good
Unless the Most Gracious takes it with His right hand
Even if it is a date
So you will be raised in the palm of the Most Gracious
Until it is greater than the mountain
Just as one of you raises his foal or his offspring
Narrated by Muslim
And the meaning of the hadith
God Almighty does not accept charity except what is good earned
A small amount is accepted, even if it is a date
So God Almighty accepts her with His right hand as a dignity for her
Then he grows it and doubles its reward so that it weighs heavily in the scales
As a person raises his family
It is a small horse foal
Who needs care and education
Or his faction
He is the son of a she-camel if he is separated from his mother’s breastfeeding
So that charity will be like a mountain in size and weight on the Day of Resurrection
