00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.200
Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:10.070
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:00:10.070 --> 00:00:14.099
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:17.899
"It would not please me to have gold equal to Mount Uhud,

00:00:17.899 --> 00:00:20.100
such that three days pass over me,

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:22.600
while I still have a dinar of it remaining,

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.800
except for a dinar I set aside to pay off a debt."

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:30.390
Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:34.380
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:40.380
Giving and charity were the most beloved things to him, peace be upon him.

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:43.380
His joy and happiness in what he gave

00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:47.380
were greater than the joy of the one receiving it.

00:00:47.380 --> 00:00:49.380
He was the most generous of people in doing good,

00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:52.380
his hand like a wind sent forth.

00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:55.409
Whenever a person in need came to him,

00:00:55.409 --> 00:00:57.409
he would prioritize them over his own self,

00:00:57.710 --> 00:00:59.710
sometimes with his food,

00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:01.740
and sometimes with his clothing.

00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:03.740
He, peace be upon him,

00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:06.739
would command charity and encourage it,

00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:10.739
and call people to it through his own conduct and his speech.

00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:13.739
For that reason, he, peace be upon him,

00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:15.739
was the most expansive of all creation in breast,

00:01:15.739 --> 00:01:17.739
the most pleasant of them in soul,

00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:19.739
and the most blissful of them in heart.

00:01:19.739 --> 00:01:22.739
For charity and the performance of good deeds

00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:25.739
have a wondrous effect in expanding the breast.
