The Virtue of Charity

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of charity and how it is a good deed.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "What a good Maniha (the she-camel which has recently given birth and which gives profuse milk) is, and (what a good Maniha) (the sheep which gives profuse milk, a bowl in the morning and another in the evening) is!" Narrated Malik: Maniha is a good deed of charity.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نِعْمَ الْمَنِيحَةُ اللِّقْحَةُ الصَّفِيُّ مِنْحَةً، وَالشَّاةُ الصَّفِيُّ تَغْدُو بِإِنَاءٍ وَتَرُوحُ بِإِنَاءٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ مَالِكٍ قَالَ نِعْمَ الصَّدَقَةُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Huraira, speaks to the virtue of charity. Allah's Messenger said that giving charity is like having a she-camel which has recently given birth and gives profuse milk or having a sheep which gives profuse milk, a bowl in the morning and another in the evening. In other words, giving charity will bring great rewards for those who do so. Malik further explains that Maniha is a good deed of charity. Thus, this hadith encourages us to give generously as it will bring us great rewards from Allah SWT. It also teaches us to be generous with our wealth and not be miserly with it as we are only its custodians on earth while Allah SWT owns all wealth in this world and hereafter.
