00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,200
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,070
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

3
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:14,099
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:14,099 --> 00:00:17,899
"It would not please me to have gold equal to Mount Uhud,

5
00:00:17,899 --> 00:00:20,100
such that three days pass over me,

6
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,600
while I still have a dinar of it remaining,

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,800
except for a dinar I set aside to pay off a debt."

8
00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:30,390
Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

9
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:34,380
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

10
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:40,380
Giving and charity were the most beloved things to him, peace be upon him.

11
00:00:40,380 --> 00:00:43,380
His joy and happiness in what he gave

12
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:47,380
were greater than the joy of the one receiving it.

13
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:49,380
He was the most generous of people in doing good,

14
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:52,380
his hand like a wind sent forth.

15
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:55,409
Whenever a person in need came to him,

16
00:00:55,409 --> 00:00:57,409
he would prioritize them over his own self,

17
00:00:57,710 --> 00:00:59,710
sometimes with his food,

18
00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:01,740
and sometimes with his clothing.

19
00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:03,740
He, peace be upon him,

20
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:06,739
would command charity and encourage it,

21
00:01:06,739 --> 00:01:10,739
and call people to it through his own conduct and his speech.

22
00:01:10,739 --> 00:01:13,739
For that reason, he, peace be upon him,

23
00:01:13,739 --> 00:01:15,739
was the most expansive of all creation in breast,

24
00:01:15,739 --> 00:01:17,739
the most pleasant of them in soul,

25
00:01:17,739 --> 00:01:19,739
and the most blissful of them in heart.

26
00:01:19,739 --> 00:01:22,739
For charity and the performance of good deeds

27
00:01:22,739 --> 00:01:25,739
have a wondrous effect in expanding the breast.
