Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity. On the authority of 'Uqbah Ibn 'Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: Every person shall be in the shade of his charity, until judgment is passed between the people, or he said: until it is judged between the people. Yazid said: And Abu al-Khayr would not let a day pass without giving something in charity, even if it were a piece of cake or an onion. Recorded by Ahmad and authenticated by al-Albani. In another narration from him, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: Indeed, charity extinguishes the heat of the graves for its people, and the believer shall be shaded on the Day of Resurrection by the shade of his charity. Recorded by al-Tabarani and classified as hasan by al-Albani.
