Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.960
On the authority of Hakim Ibn Hizam, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.960
A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, about charity.

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.989
[He asked,] "Which is best?"

00:00:17.989 --> 00:00:18.989
He replied:

00:00:18.989 --> 00:00:21.989
"Giving to a relative who harbors enmity."

00:00:21.989 --> 00:00:26.149
Recorded by Imam Ahmad and classified as hasan by al-Albani.

00:00:26.149 --> 00:00:28.980
Al-Mundhiri said:

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:31.980
It means that the best charity is:

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:33.979
Giving to a relative who severs ties.

00:00:33.979 --> 00:00:36.979
[Specifically, the one] who conceals hostility within himself.
