Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.
On the authority of Abu Kabshah al-Anmari, may Allah be pleased with him.
He said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say:
There are three things I swear to be true.
And I shall tell you a hadith, so commit it to memory.
He said:
A servant’s wealth is never diminished by charity.
No servant is wronged and bears it with patience,
but that Allah increases him in honor.
And no servant opens for himself a door of begging,
but that Allah opens for him a door of poverty.
Or words to that effect.
Recorded by al-Tirmidhi.
And authenticated by al-Albani.
