Give charity even if you are poor

This hadith speaks of the importance of giving charity, even when one is in poverty. It was narrated by Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari that whenever the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked his followers to give charity, they would go to the market and work as porters and get a Mudd of grain and then give it away. This shows how generous people were during those times despite their lack of resources. Even today, some people have a hundred thousand but still do not practice generosity like before. This hadith encourages us to be generous with whatever we have no matter how little it may be.
