Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.
0:06
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:13
"Charity does not decrease wealth, and Allah increases a servant in honor through pardoning."
0:21
"And no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah but that Allah raises him." Recorded by Muslim.
0:30
Regarding his statement, "Charity does not decrease wealth," scholars have mentioned two interpretations: the first is that it means Allah blesses the wealth and wards off harm from it.
0:41
Thus, the apparent decrease is compensated for by hidden blessings, a reality recognized through both sensory experience and common observation.
0:49
The second interpretation is that even if the wealth decreases in form, the reward ordained for it compensates for that decrease and increases it many times over.
