عن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «كُلُّ مَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ».
Translation
Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every act of goodness is charity."
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that every goodness and benefit for others, whether in words or deeds, is regarded as a charity, and its doer obtains a reward for it.
Benefits
- The Hadīth indicates that charity is not limited to what a person spends out of his money, but it includes everything good a person says or does to others.
- It encourages us to do what is good and beneficial to others.
- We should not belittle any act of goodness, even if it was simple.
Explanation: العربية
يُخْبِرُ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنَّ كلَّ إحسانٍ ونَفْعِ للآخرين مِن قول أو عمل يكون صدقةً، وفيه الأجر والثواب.
- أن الصَّدَقة لا تنحصر فيما يخرجه الإنسان من ماله، بل تشمل كلَّ خير يفعله الإنسان أو يقوله ويوصله إلى الآخرين.
- فيه الترغيب في بذل المعروف وكل ما فيه نفع للآخرين.
- عدم احتقار شيءٍ من المعروف، ولو كان يسيرًا.
