Best of charities

Tuesday, May 21, 2024

أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ، تَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ وَتَأْمُلُ الْغِنَى
Transliteration

Afdalu-s-sadaqati an tatasaddaqa wa anta sahihun shahih, takhsha-l-faqra wa ta'mulu-l-ghina.

Translation

The best charity is what you give while you are healthy and stingy, fearing poverty and hoping for wealth.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih al-Bukhari 1419, Sahih Muslim 1032
Reflection

Giving when it hurts, when you're counting, when you're worried — that's where the weight lives.
