The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.250
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:13.250
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:13.250 --> 00:00:17.280
"Every joint of the people owes a charity for every day

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.280
upon which the sun rises:

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.280
to act justly between two people is a charity,

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.280
to assist a man with his mount by helping him mount it,

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.280
or by lifting his luggage onto it for him, is a charity,

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.340
a good word is a charity,

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:39.340
every step one takes toward prayer is a charity,

00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:42.340
and removing harmful objects from the road is a charity."

00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:45.759
Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.909
This hadith clarifies

00:00:49.909 --> 00:00:52.909
that gratitude for Allah’s blessing of physical well-being

00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:55.909
is expressed through righteous deeds.

00:00:55.909 --> 00:01:00.939
Every movement a person makes can be transformed into a charity

00:01:00.939 --> 00:01:04.010
if it is utilized for good.

00:01:04.010 --> 00:01:08.010
It also clarifies that worship is not limited to financial acts,

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:13.010
but encompasses every beneficial behavior that serves the individual and society.

00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:17.099
The hadith establishes the principle of daily responsibility,

00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:21.099
and that a Muslim can earn reward every single day

00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:25.099
through simple acts such as removing harmful objects,

00:01:25.099 --> 00:01:29.099
reconciling between people, or engaging in the remembrance of Allah.
