Honesty and Charitable Giving

SUMMARY: An honest treasurer who gives what he is ordered to give fully, perfectly and willingly is regarded as a charitable person.

Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "An honest treasurer who gives what he is ordered to give fully, perfectly and willingly to the person to whom he is ordered to give, is regarded as one of the two charitable persons".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْخَازِنُ الأَمِينُ الَّذِي يُنْفِقُ ـ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ الَّذِي يُعْطِي ـ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ كَامِلاً مُوَفَّرًا، طَيِّبٌ نَفْسُهُ، إِلَى الَّذِي أُمِرَ بِهِ، أَحَدُ الْمُتَصَدِّقَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of honesty and charitable giving. It tells us that an honest treasurer who gives what he is ordered to give fully, perfectly and willingly to the person to whom he is ordered to give, will be regarded as one of the two charitable persons. This means that even if we are not able to donate money or goods for charity, we can still be considered a charitable person by being honest in our dealings with others. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that honesty should always come first when dealing with others, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem at the time. He also taught us that giving charity does not necessarily mean donating money or goods; it can also mean being kind and generous with our words and actions towards others.
