Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:13,539
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

3
00:00:13,539 --> 00:00:21,359
"Charity does not decrease wealth, and Allah increases a servant in honor through pardoning."

4
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:30,199
"And no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah but that Allah raises him." Recorded by Muslim.

5
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:41,979
Regarding his statement, "Charity does not decrease wealth," scholars have mentioned two interpretations: the first is that it means Allah blesses the wealth and wards off harm from it.

6
00:00:41,979 --> 00:00:49,179
Thus, the apparent decrease is compensated for by hidden blessings, a reality recognized through both sensory experience and common observation.

7
00:00:49,179 --> 00:01:00,780
The second interpretation is that even if the wealth decreases in form, the reward ordained for it compensates for that decrease and increases it many times over.
