00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.200
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.220
On the authority of Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah, who said:

00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:12.580
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:14.820
"O Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah,

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:20.579
no flesh and blood nourished by unlawful gain shall enter Paradise;

00:00:20.579 --> 00:00:23.179
the Fire is more fitting for it.

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.339
O Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah,

00:00:25.339 --> 00:00:27.739
people go out in the morning in two ways:

00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:32.140
one goes out to ransom his soul, thereby setting it free,

00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:34.939
and another goes out to ruin it.

00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:37.020
O Ka'b Ibn 'Ujrah,

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:39.259
prayer is a means of drawing near,

00:00:39.259 --> 00:00:41.500
charity is a proof,

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:43.679
and fasting is a shield;

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.560
charity extinguishes sin

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.609
just as ice melts upon a smooth rock."

00:00:50.609 --> 00:00:53.329
Recorded by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban,

00:00:53.329 --> 00:00:54.770
with the wording belonging to the latter,

00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:57.090
and authenticated by al-Albani.
