Sunan Abi Dawud 1700 (Book 9, Hadith 145) #21992
The Rewards of Generosity

SUMMARY: Giving charity without expecting anything in return will be rewarded.

Abu Mulaykah reported: Aisha counted a number of indigents. AbuDawud said: The other version has: She counted a number of sadaqahs. The Messenger of Allah said: Give and do not calculate, so calculation will be made against you.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ عِدَّةً مِنْ مَسَاكِينَ - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ أَوْ عِدَّةً مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ - فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَعْطِي وَلاَ تُحْصِي فَيُحْصِيَ عَلَيْكِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of giving charity and being generous. It was narrated by Abu Mulaykah and Aisha that the Prophet Muhammad said to give charity without calculating or expecting anything in return. He also promised that if we do this, then Allah will reward us for our generosity. This teaches us to be grateful for what we have and to share it with those who are less fortunate than us. We should not expect something in return when we give charity but instead trust that Allah will reward us for our good deeds.

This hadith also encourages us to practice gratitude towards Allah for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. We should remember that whatever we have is a gift from Him and it is only right that we share it with others who are less fortunate than ourselves. By doing so, not only do we help those in need but also receive rewards from Allah Himself!
