00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,200
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,220
On the authority of Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah, who said:

3
00:00:09,220 --> 00:00:12,580
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:14,820
"O Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah,

5
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:20,579
no flesh and blood nourished by unlawful gain shall enter Paradise;

6
00:00:20,579 --> 00:00:23,179
the Fire is more fitting for it.

7
00:00:23,179 --> 00:00:25,339
O Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah,

8
00:00:25,339 --> 00:00:27,739
people go out in the morning in two ways:

9
00:00:27,899 --> 00:00:32,140
one goes out to ransom his soul, thereby setting it free,

10
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:34,939
and another goes out to ruin it.

11
00:00:34,939 --> 00:00:37,020
O Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah,

12
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:39,259
prayer is a means of drawing near,

13
00:00:39,259 --> 00:00:41,500
charity is a proof,

14
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:43,679
and fasting is a shield;

15
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:46,560
charity extinguishes sin

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,609
just as ice melts upon a smooth rock."

17
00:00:50,609 --> 00:00:53,329
Recorded by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban,

18
00:00:53,329 --> 00:00:54,770
with the wording belonging to the latter,

19
00:00:54,770 --> 00:00:57,090
and authenticated by al-Albani.
