00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.449
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).

00:00:09.449 --> 00:00:14.970
A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said:

00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:16.730
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:00:16.730 --> 00:00:19.570
which people are most beloved to Allah,

00:00:19.570 --> 00:00:22.870
and which deeds are most beloved to Allah?"

00:00:22.870 --> 00:00:26.870
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied:

00:00:26.870 --> 00:00:29.870
"The most beloved of people to Allah the Exalted

00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:31.910
is the one who is most beneficial to people.

00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:34.909
And the most beloved of deeds to Allah the Exalted

00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:37.909
is a joy you bring to a Muslim,

00:00:37.909 --> 00:00:40.909
or a distress you relieve from him,

00:00:40.909 --> 00:00:42.909
or a debt you pay off for him,

00:00:42.909 --> 00:00:45.909
or hunger you drive away from him.

00:00:45.909 --> 00:00:48.909
For me to walk with my brother to fulfill a need

00:00:48.909 --> 00:00:53.909
is more beloved to me than to seclude myself in this mosque for a month,"

00:00:53.909 --> 00:00:56.939
meaning the mosque of Medina.

00:00:56.979 --> 00:01:00.979
"Whoever restrains his anger, Allah will conceal his faults.

00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:02.979
And whoever suppresses his rage,

00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:05.980
even though he could have acted upon it had he wished,

00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:09.980
Allah will fill his heart with hope on the Day of Resurrection.

00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:14.980
And whoever walks with his brother to fulfill a need until he secures it for him,

00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:20.239
Allah will make his feet firm on the day when feet shall slip."

00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.239
It was recorded by al-Tabarani,

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.239
and classified as hasan by al-Albani.
