Chapter on The Virtue of Charity

Zujajat al-Masabih 2386Volume 1

English

Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Three are loved by Allah, and three are hated by Allah. Those loved by Allah are: a man who comes to a people and asks them by Allah, not by any kinship between him and them, but they refuse him, so a man stays behind and gives him secretly, so that no one knows of his gift except Allah and the one who gave it; a people who travel at night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything else, so they stop and rest, and one of them stands and flatters me and recites My verses; and a man who is in a military expedition, and his companions flee, but he faces the enemy until he is killed or victory is achieved. The three hated by Allah are: the old adulterer, the poor show-off, and the oppressive rich man.”
