`Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Protect yourself
from Hell-fire even by giving a piece of date as charity.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned previously. It tells us that, according to one's resource
capacity, one can win the pleasure of Allah even by spending a small quantity of wealth in His way.

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) never said `no' to anyone who
asked him for anything.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith illustrates the refined morals, sublimity of soul and the generosity of the Prophet
(PBUH). Had somebody asked him of something, provided it was in his possession, he would never say `no' to him.
He would also on occasions resort to borrowing to meet the want of a needy person. If the borrowing were not
possible, he would promise to fulfill his need.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Everyday two
angels descend and one of them says, `O Allah! Compensate (more) to the person who gives (in charity)'; while the
other one says, `O Allah! Destroy the one who withholds (charity, etc)".
[Al-Bukhari ].
Commentary:
The spending for which there is good news of Divine blessing may be said as expenses on household
and guests, etc., as well as voluntary and obligatory charity. And the miserliness which incurs imprecation is
restraining from paying Zakat, giving alms and not spending on what is commendable. Destruction may imply the
destruction of wealth or that of the miser himself. Only Allah knows better!

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Allah, the
Exalted, says, `Spend, O son of Adam, you will also be spent upon.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
According to the Hadith, one who spends in the way of Allah, will be duly paid. It means that Allah
will enhance the provision of such a man and grant him the best recompense.

`Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`as (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man asked Messenger of Allah
(PBUH), "Which act in Islam is the best?'' He (PBUH) replied,
"To feed (the poor and the needy) and to greet those
whom you know and those you do not know.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The provision of food to somebody may signify almsgiving or offering or an act of hospitality. It
may also be interpreted as meeting the want of a needy person: If he is hungry, he should be fed; if he lacks clothes,
the same should be given to him; if he is sick, medicine should be provided to him; and if he is under debt, he should
be helped to pay off his debt, and so on. As for greeting (saying `As-Salamu `alaikum'), it is meant to be popularized
because it brings hearts closer to each other and is an antidote to hatred and hostility.
