The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,250
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

3
00:00:09,250 --> 00:00:13,250
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:17,280
"Every joint of the people owes a charity for every day

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,280
upon which the sun rises:

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,280
to act justly between two people is a charity,

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,280
to assist a man with his mount by helping him mount it,

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,280
or by lifting his luggage onto it for him, is a charity,

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,340
a good word is a charity,

10
00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:39,340
every step one takes toward prayer is a charity,

11
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:42,340
and removing harmful objects from the road is a charity."

12
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:45,759
Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

13
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:49,909
This hadith clarifies

14
00:00:49,909 --> 00:00:52,909
that gratitude for Allah’s blessing of physical well-being

15
00:00:52,909 --> 00:00:55,909
is expressed through righteous deeds.

16
00:00:55,909 --> 00:01:00,939
Every movement a person makes can be transformed into a charity

17
00:01:00,939 --> 00:01:04,010
if it is utilized for good.

18
00:01:04,010 --> 00:01:08,010
It also clarifies that worship is not limited to financial acts,

19
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:13,010
but encompasses every beneficial behavior that serves the individual and society.

20
00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:17,099
The hadith establishes the principle of daily responsibility,

21
00:01:17,099 --> 00:01:21,099
and that a Muslim can earn reward every single day

22
00:01:21,099 --> 00:01:25,099
through simple acts such as removing harmful objects,

23
00:01:25,099 --> 00:01:29,099
reconciling between people, or engaging in the remembrance of Allah.
