Sunan Abi Dawud 2104 (Book 12, Hadith 59) #22395
Generosity Rewarded

SUMMARY: A man offered to marry his daughter to someone who gave him their shoes in a time of need.

Ibrahim bin Maisarah reported from his maternal aunt who reported on the authority of a woman called Mussaddaqah (a truthful woman). She said "In pre Islamic days, when my father participated in a battle the feet of the people burnt due to intense heat. Thereupon a man said "Who gives me his shoes, I shall marry him to my first daughter born to me. My father took off his shoes and there them before him. A girl was thereafter born to him and came of age". The narrator then mentioned a similar story. But he did not mention that she had grown old.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ، قَالَتْ هِيَ مُصَدَّقَةٌ امْرَأَةُ صِدْقٍ قَالَتْ بَيْنَا أَبِي فِي غَزَاةٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذْ رَمِضُوا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَنْ يُعْطِينِي نَعْلَيْهِ وَأُنْكِحُهُ أَوَّلَ بِنْتٍ تُولَدُ لِي فَخَلَعَ أَبِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَأَلْقَاهُمَا إِلَيْهِ فَوُلِدَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ فَبَلَغَتْ وَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قِصَّةَ الْقَتِيرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about generosity and how it can be rewarded. It tells the story of a man in pre-Islamic times who was participating in a battle and his feet were burning due to the intense heat. A man then offered to marry his first daughter born to him if someone gave him their shoes. The father took off his shoes and put them before the man as an act of generosity and kindness. As a result, he was rewarded with having one of his daughters married off when she came of age. This hadith teaches us that we should always be generous and kind towards others as it can lead us to great rewards from Allah SWT in this life or even the hereafter. We should also remember that Allah SWT sees all our actions no matter how small they may seem so we should always strive for excellence in our deeds for His sake alone!
