Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

THE BLESSING OF SADQAH

Hadrat Anas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAAH’s messenger said, “Sadaqah appeases the Lord’s anger and averts an evil death. [Tirmizi]

Hadrat Ali (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying, “Give the Sadaqah without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) reported ALLAAH’s messenger as saying, “Sadaqah does not reduce property, ALLAAH increases the honour of him who forgives another, and no one will humble himself for ALLAAH’s sake without ALLAAH exalting him. [Muslim]

Hadrat Anas bin Malik narrated that the Prophet said, “There are seven things which continue to be rewarded even after one’s death while he himself remains lying in the grave: One who taught religion or dug a canal or well or planted a tree or built a mosque or left a copy of Holy QURAAN in legacy or left behind descendants who pray for his sins to be pardoned. (Targhib) lbn Majah, in the above tradition has mentioned sadaqah and building a rest house for travellers instead of planting a tree and digging a well. [Targhib]

The above tradition indicates the merits of establishing religious institutions and works of public welfare. [Hayat -ul- Muslimin]
