Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

THE REALITY ABOUT SADQAH

Hadrat Abu Zar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying “When you smile in your brother’s face, or enjoin what is reputable, or forbid what is objectionable, or direct some one who has lost his way, or help a man who has bad eyesight, or remove stones, thorns and bones from the road, or pour water from your bucket into your brother’s, it counts to you as sadaqah.” [Tirmizi]

Hadrat Abu Mas’ud al-Ansari (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the messenger of ALLAAH said, “When some one spends on his family seeking his reward for it from ALLAAH, it counts to him as sadaqah. [Bukhari - Muslim]

Hadrat Jabir (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said: if any one has three daughters and he teaches them good manners, is sympathetic towards them, and supports them, then, surely he becames entitled to Paradise. Someone then asked, O Apostle of ALLAAH, if someone has only two daughters? He replied, yes, even if he has only two.” Some people took an impression that his answer would have been similar if he were questioned about one daughter only. Tabarani has added that he also gets them married. [Ahmad, Baza, Tabarani]

Hadrat Anas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the messenger of ALLAAH Said, “If any Muslim plants some thing or sows seed from which man, bird, or beast eats, it counts as sadaqah from him.” [Bukhari]

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) asked ALLAAH’S messenger what kind of sadqah was most excellent and he replied, “What a man with his little property can afford to give; and begin with those for whom you are responsible.” [Abu Dawud]
