Musnad Ahmad 925 (Book 5, Hadith 352) #34578
Equality in Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that those who give one tenth of their wealth in charity are equal in reward, regardless of the amount given.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: Three people came to the Messenger of Allah and one of them said: I had one hundred ooqiyahs and I spent one ooqiyah (in charity). The next one said: I had one hundred dinars and i spent ten dinars (in charity). The next one said: I had ten dinars and I spent one dinar (in charity). The Prophet said: "You are equal in reward, for each of you gave one tenth of his wealth in charity".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ كَانَتْ لِي مِائَةُ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَنْفَقْتُ مِنْهَا عَشْرَةَ أَوَاقٍ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ كَانَتْ لِي مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ فَتَصَدَّقْتُ مِنْهَا بِعَشَرَةِ دَنَانِيرَ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ كَانَتْ لِي عَشَرَةُ دَنَانِيرَ فَتَصَدَّقْتُ مِنْهَا بِدِينَارٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ أَنْتُمْ فِي الْأَجْرِ سَوَاءٌ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعُشْرِ مَالِهِ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Give one tenth of your wealth in charity .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when it comes to charity and giving to those less fortunate than us, it is not the amount we give that matters but rather our intention and effort. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught us that no matter how much or how little we have to give away, if we give one tenth of our wealth then we will be rewarded equally. This hadith encourages us to be generous with what Allah has blessed us with and reminds us that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. It also teaches us about equality; no matter how much or how little someone gives away they will still receive the same reward from Allah for their efforts.
