On the authority of Sa'id al-Ta'i, Abu al-Bakhtari,
0:30
who said:
0:32
Abu Kabshah al-Anmari, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated to me
0:35
that he heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say:
0:40
"There are three things I swear to be true,
0:43
and I shall tell you a hadith, so commit it to memory:
0:46
He said:
0:48
'A servant's wealth will never decrease by giving charity,
0:51
nor does a servant suffer an injustice and bear it with patience,
0:55
but that Allah will increase him in honor,
0:58
and no servant opens for himself a door of begging,
1:01
but that Allah will open for him a door of poverty.'"
1:05
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi.
1:07
A benefit:
1:10
This is a promise from Allah of increase,
1:14
and a warning from the Shaytan of poverty.
1:17
So choose your path for yourself.
1:20
On the authority of Abu Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:24
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:27
used to command us to give charity,
1:29
yet one of us would find nothing to give,
1:33
so he would go to the marketplace,
1:35
carry goods on his back,
1:37
and return with a mudd (a measure of grain),
1:39
which he would then give to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
1:43
Today, I know a man
1:46
who possesses one hundred thousand,
1:48
yet back then, he did not have a single dirham.
