00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.410
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

00:00:06.410 --> 00:00:09.849
On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him).

00:00:09.849 --> 00:00:14.119
From the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.339
"Every Muslim must give charity."

00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:20.100
They asked, "O Prophet of Allah,

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.940
what if he cannot find anything to give?"

00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:23.059
He replied,

00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:24.699
"Let him work with his hands,

00:00:24.699 --> 00:00:28.019
so that he may benefit himself and give charity."

00:00:28.019 --> 00:00:29.140
They asked,

00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:31.019
"And if he still cannot find anything?"

00:00:31.019 --> 00:00:32.179
He replied,

00:00:32.179 --> 00:00:35.299
"Let him assist the person in need who is distressed."

00:00:35.299 --> 00:00:36.500
They asked,

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.340
"And if he still cannot find anything?"

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:39.500
He replied,

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:41.820
"Let him perform good deeds,

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:44.140
and refrain from evil,

00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:47.179
for that is charity for him."

00:00:47.179 --> 00:00:49.939
Recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
