EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the virtue of charity, which is an act of kindness that should be done with the intention to please Allah. It was narrated by Abu Dharr, who said that Mannan is the one who takes account for anything he gives. This means that when we give charity, we should do it with sincerity and not expect anything in return. We should also remember to thank Allah for His blessings and show gratitude for what He has given us. Charity can come in many forms such as giving money or donating food to those in need, helping out a neighbor or volunteering at a local organization. Whatever form it takes, it is important to remember that our actions are being watched by Allah and He will reward us accordingly if we do them sincerely for His sake alone.
