Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said Don't believe anyone's good deeds God only accepts what is good Unless the Most Gracious takes it with His right hand Even if it is a date So you will be raised in the palm of the Most Gracious Until it is greater than the mountain Just as one of you raises his foal or his offspring Narrated by Muslim And the meaning of the hadith God Almighty does not accept charity except what is good earned A small amount is accepted, even if it is a date So God Almighty accepts her with His right hand as a dignity for her Then he grows it and doubles its reward so that it weighs heavily in the scales As a person raises his family It is a small horse foal Who needs care and education Or his faction He is the son of a she-camel if he is separated from his mother’s breastfeeding So that charity will be like a mountain in size and weight on the Day of Resurrection
