" Rewarding Acts: Hadith Wisdom on Charity by Abu Dzar Al-Ghafiri r.a "

" Explore a profound Hadith narrated by Abu Dzar Al-Ghafiri, shedding light on the rewarding nature of acts beyond wealth-based charity. Discover how simple acts of worship, good deeds, and marital intimacy earn divine rewards."

From Abu Dzar Al-Ghafiri r.a., that a group of people from the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him), asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him): " O Messenger of Allah! The rich people have received more rewards. They pray as we pray, fast as we fast and they give charity with their wealth that is more than that. 

" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) said: 'Hasn't God shown you the ways in which you can give alms? Truly with every tasbih is almsgiving, and every takbir is almsgiving, and every tahlil is almsgiving, and with every tahmid almsgiving and at every tahli is almsgiving, and enjoining doing good is almsgiving and forbidding doing evil is an almsgiving, and sexual intercourse with one's wife is also an almsgiving' ".

The companions asked: " O Messenger of Allah! Will one of us who satisfies his lust with his wife get a reward ?" Rasulullah (peace and blessings upon him) said: " What do you think if a person gives up his lust for what is forbidden, is it a sin for him? Similarly, if he gives up his lust for what is lawful, he will be rewarded ".
