Sunan an-Nasai 2527 (Book 23, Hadith 93) #17138
The Rewards of Charity

SUMMARY: Giving charity is more rewarding than keeping wealth.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "A Dirham surpassed a hundred thousand Dirhams". They said: "How?" He said: "A man had two Dirhams and gave one in charity, and another man went part of his wealth and took out a hundred thousand Dirhams and gave them in charity".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَالْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ سَبَقَ دِرْهَمٌ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ دِرْهَمَانِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَحَدِهِمَا وَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُرْضِ مَالِهِ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Give away your wealth in the way of Allah and help those who are less fortunate or need assistance.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Hurairah, speaks about the rewards of giving charity. It tells us that a single Dirham given in charity is more rewarding than a hundred thousand Dirhams kept as wealth. This teaches us that it is better to give away our wealth in the way of Allah rather than keep it for ourselves. We should not be stingy with our money and instead use it to help those who are less fortunate or need assistance. Doing so will bring us great rewards from Allah and make us closer to Him.
