Musnad Ahmad 788 (Book 5, Hadith 220) #34446
Generosity and Compassion in Small Matters

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us to be generous and compassionate even in the smallest of matters.

It was narrated that Buraid bin Asram said: I heard 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: A man of Ahl-us-Suffah died and left behind two dinars or two Dirhams. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Two brands of iron; offer the funeral prayer for your companion'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَصْرَمَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ وَتَرَكَ دِينَارَيْنِ أَوْ دِرْهَمَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ كَيَّتَانِ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of generosity and compassion, even when it comes to small matters. It was narrated by Buraid bin Asram that he heard 'Ali say that a man from Ahl-us-Suffah died leaving behind two dinars or two dirhams. The Messenger of Allah said, “Two brands of iron; offer the funeral prayer for your companion”. This shows us how important it is to be generous and compassionate even when it comes to small matters like this one. We should always remember that we are all part of a larger community, so we should always strive to help each other out no matter how small the matter may seem. Even if someone has only two coins left behind, we should still show them respect by offering our prayers for them after they have passed away.
