Sunan an-Nasai 3184 (Book 25, Hadith 100) #17796
The Reward of Spending in the Cause of Allah

SUMMARY: Spending in the cause of Allah will be rewarded with entry into Paradise.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, the gatekeepers of Paradise will call him from the gates of Paradise (saying): O So-and-so, come and enter!' Abu Bakr said: 'O Messenger of Allah, such a person will never perish or be miserable'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'I hope that you will be one of them'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دَعَتْهُ خَزَنَةُ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَا فُلاَنُ هَلُمَّ فَادْخُلْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَاكَ الَّذِي لاَ تَوَى عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Hurairah, speaks about the reward for spending in the cause of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad said that whoever spends on a pair of things in the cause of Allah will be called from the gates of paradise and invited to enter. When Abu Bakr heard this, he expressed his hope that he would be one such person who would never perish or be miserable. This hadith teaches us that spending on charity is an act which is greatly rewarded by Allah and it is something we should strive to do as much as possible. It also shows us how important it is to have faith and trust in God's mercy and justice, as expressed by Abu Bakr's hope that he too would receive such a reward from God.
