1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,160
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,449
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).

3
00:00:09,449 --> 00:00:14,970
A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said:

4
00:00:14,970 --> 00:00:16,730
"O Messenger of Allah,

5
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:19,570
which people are most beloved to Allah,

6
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:22,870
and which deeds are most beloved to Allah?"

7
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:26,870
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied:

8
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:29,870
"The most beloved of people to Allah the Exalted

9
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:31,910
is the one who is most beneficial to people.

10
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:34,909
And the most beloved of deeds to Allah the Exalted

11
00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:37,909
is a joy you bring to a Muslim,

12
00:00:37,909 --> 00:00:40,909
or a distress you relieve from him,

13
00:00:40,909 --> 00:00:42,909
or a debt you pay off for him,

14
00:00:42,909 --> 00:00:45,909
or hunger you drive away from him.

15
00:00:45,909 --> 00:00:48,909
For me to walk with my brother to fulfill a need

16
00:00:48,909 --> 00:00:53,909
is more beloved to me than to seclude myself in this mosque for a month,"

17
00:00:53,909 --> 00:00:56,939
meaning the mosque of Medina.

18
00:00:56,979 --> 00:01:00,979
"Whoever restrains his anger, Allah will conceal his faults.

19
00:01:00,979 --> 00:01:02,979
And whoever suppresses his rage,

20
00:01:02,979 --> 00:01:05,980
even though he could have acted upon it had he wished,

21
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:09,980
Allah will fill his heart with hope on the Day of Resurrection.

22
00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:14,980
And whoever walks with his brother to fulfill a need until he secures it for him,

23
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:20,239
Allah will make his feet firm on the day when feet shall slip."

24
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:22,239
It was recorded by al-Tabarani,

25
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:24,239
and classified as hasan by al-Albani.
