Sunan an-Nasai 3185 (Book 25, Hadith 101) #17797
The Reward for Spending in the Cause of Allah

SUMMARY: Spending in the cause of Allah will be rewarded with a welcome from the keepers of Paradise.

It was narrated that Sa'sa'ah bin Mu'awiyah said: "I met Abu Dharr and said: 'Tell me a Hadith'. He said. Yes, the Messenger of Allah said: There is no Muslim worshiper who spends from each type of his wealth on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, but the keepers of Paradise will welcome him, all of them calling him to what they have (of reward)'. I said: "How is that?" He said: "If it is camels, he gives two, and if it is cows, he gives two'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يُنْفِقُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَالٍ لَهُ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّهُمْ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى مَا عِنْدَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلاً فَبَعِيرَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَقَرًا فَبَقَرَتَيْنِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Spend your wealth on good causes for God's sake

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the reward that awaits those who spend their wealth in charity, or sadaqah, for the cause of Allah. It is narrated by Sa'sa'ah bin Mu'awiyah who met Abu Dharr and asked him to tell him a hadith. Abu Dharr then relayed a hadith from Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which states that if someone spends any type of their wealth on two things for the sake of Allah, then they will be welcomed into paradise by its keepers. He further explains that this could mean giving two camels or two cows as an example. This hadith teaches us that spending our wealth on good causes is highly encouraged and will be rewarded with great blessings from Allah Almighty. We should strive to give charity whenever we can and remember that it is not only beneficial to those receiving it but also to ourselves as we are promised great rewards in return.
