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

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,039
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,199
That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:20,829
"There is no soul among the children of Adam upon which a charity is not due for every day the sun rises."

5
00:00:20,829 --> 00:00:23,070
It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah,

6
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:27,100
from where shall we have the means to give charity?"

7
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:31,660
He replied, "Indeed, the gates of goodness are many:

8
00:00:31,660 --> 00:00:37,500
glorifying Allah (tasbih), praising Him (tahmid), magnifying Him (takbir), and declaring His oneness (tahlil);

9
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:41,020
enjoining good and forbidding evil;

10
00:00:41,020 --> 00:00:43,659
removing obstacles from the path;

11
00:00:43,659 --> 00:00:47,340
helping the deaf to hear and guiding the blind;

12
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:50,700
directing the seeker to what he needs;

13
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:55,259
hastening with the strength of your legs to assist the distressed who is calling for help;

14
00:00:55,259 --> 00:00:59,020
and using the strength of your arms to support the weak.

15
00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:03,390
All of this is a charity from you for your own soul."

16
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:07,709
