00:00:06,410 --> 00:00:09,849
On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him).

3
00:00:09,849 --> 00:00:14,119
From the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

4
00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:17,339
"Every Muslim must give charity."

5
00:00:17,339 --> 00:00:20,100
They asked, "O Prophet of Allah,

6
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:21,940
what if he cannot find anything to give?"

7
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:23,059
He replied,

8
00:00:23,059 --> 00:00:24,699
"Let him work with his hands,

9
00:00:24,699 --> 00:00:28,019
so that he may benefit himself and give charity."

10
00:00:28,019 --> 00:00:29,140
They asked,

11
00:00:29,219 --> 00:00:31,019
"And if he still cannot find anything?"

12
00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:32,179
He replied,

13
00:00:32,179 --> 00:00:35,299
"Let him assist the person in need who is distressed."

14
00:00:35,299 --> 00:00:36,500
They asked,

15
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,340
"And if he still cannot find anything?"

16
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:39,500
He replied,

17
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:41,820
"Let him perform good deeds,

18
00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:44,140
and refrain from evil,

19
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:47,179
for that is charity for him."
