The virtue of charity
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Whoever gives charity equal to a date from good earnings - and God does not accept anything but the good - and God accepts it with His right hand, and then nurtures it for its owner as one of you nurtures his colt until it becomes like a mountain.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari (1344) and Muslim (1014).
