Give generously during your lifetime

This hadith, narrated by Abu Huraira, speaks about the superiority of charity given while one is healthy and not delaying it to the time of approaching death. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ explains that when a person gives charity while they are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty, they will be rewarded more than if they wait until their last moments before giving away their wealth. He also warns against saying “give so much to such and such” after death as it would be too late for them to benefit from the donation. This hadith teaches us that we should give generously during our lifetime as this will bring us closer to Allah SWT and increase our rewards in Jannah. It also encourages us to think about those who are less fortunate than ourselves so that we can help them out with whatever resources we have available.
