SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 24: OBLIGATORY CHARITY TAX (ZAKAT)
Hudhaifa said, “‘Umar said, ‘Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah’s Apostle
(p.b.u.h) about afflictions’?’ I said, ‘I know it as the Prophet had said it.’ ‘Umar said, ‘No doubt, you are
bold. How did he say it?’ I said, ‘A man’s afflictions (wrong deeds) concerning his wife, children and
neighbors are expiated by (his) prayers, charity, and enjoining good.’ (The sub-narrator Sulaiman
added that he said, ‘The prayer, charity, enjoining good and forbidding evil.’) ‘Umar said, ‘I did not
mean that, but I ask about that affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.’ I said, ‘O chief
of the believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it.’ He asked,
‘Will the door be broken or opened?’ I replied, ‘No, it will be broken.’ He said, ‘Then, if it is broken, it
will never be closed again?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’ ” Then we were afraid to ask what that door was, so we
asked Masruq to inquire, and he asked Hudhaifa regarding it. Hudhaifa said, “The door was ‘Umar.
“We further asked Hudhaifa whether ‘Umar knew what that door meant. Hudhaifa replied in the af –
firmative and added, “He knew it as one knows that there will be a night before the tomorrow morn –
ing.”

Narrated Hakim bin Hizam:
I said to Allah’s Apostle, “Before embracing Islam I used to do good deeds like giving in charity,
slave-manumitting, and the keeping of good relations with Kith and kin. Shall I be rewarded for
those deeds?” The Prophet replied, “You became Muslim with all those good deeds (Without losing
their reward).”

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 503:
Narrated Ma’n bin Yazid:
My grandfather, my father and I gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Apostle. The Prophet got
me engaged and then got me married. One day I went to the Prophet with a complaint. My father
Yazid had taken some gold coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque (to give them
to the poor) But I went and took them and brought them to him (my father). My father said, “By Al –
lah! I did not intend to give them to you. ” I took (the case) to Allah’s Apostle . On that Allah’s Apostle
said, “O Yazid! You will be rewarded for what you intended. O Man! Whatever you have taken is
yours.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when
there will be no shade except His. They are:
(1) a just ruler;
(2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sin –
cerely from his childhood),
(3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational
prayers in the mosque);
(4) two persons who love each other only for Allah’s sake and they meet and part in Allah’s cause
only;
(5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual inter –
course with her and says: I am afraid of Allah;
(6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand
has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity).
(7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears.”
