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

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.039
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.199
That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

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."

00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:23.070
It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:27.100
from where shall we have the means to give charity?"

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:31.660
He replied, "Indeed, the gates of goodness are many:

00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:37.500
glorifying Allah (tasbih), praising Him (tahmid), magnifying Him (takbir), and declaring His oneness (tahlil);

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:41.020
enjoining good and forbidding evil;

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.659
removing obstacles from the path;

00:00:43.659 --> 00:00:47.340
helping the deaf to hear and guiding the blind;

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:50.700
directing the seeker to what he needs;

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:55.259
hastening with the strength of your legs to assist the distressed who is calling for help;

00:00:55.259 --> 00:00:59.020
and using the strength of your arms to support the weak.

00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:03.390
All of this is a charity from you for your own soul."

00:01:03.390 --> 00:01:07.709
Recorded by Ibn Hibban and authenticated by al-Albani.
