He said: "Why is that?" They said: "They offer alât as we offer Salât and they fast as we fast, but they give in charity and we do not, and they free slaves and we do not." The Messenger of Allah said: "Shall I not teach you something by means of which you may catch up with those who have gone ahead of you, and go ahead of those who come after you, and there will be no one who is better than you except those who do as you do?" They said: Yes, 0 Masájid And Places Of Prayer 95 L.ajI Messenger of Allah.
