From Hunger to Abundance

SUMMARY: The hadith is about 'Ali's experience of hunger and how his zakah has increased from a rock to forty thousand dinars.

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Ka'b al-Qurazi that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I remember when I was with the Messenger of Allah and I tied a rock to my stomach because of hunger, and now my zakah is forty thousand. It was narrated from 'Ali (رضي الله عنه). and he mentioned the same hadeeth, and said in it. The zakah of my wealth is forty thousand dinars.
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْبُطُ الْحَجَرَ عَلَى بَطْنِي مِنْ الْجُوعِ وَإِنَّ صَدَقَتِي الْيَوْمَ لَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا. حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ صَدَقَةَ مَالِي لَتَبْلُغُ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates the story of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib who was with the Prophet Muhammad and tied a rock to his stomach due to hunger. However, by the grace of Allah he was blessed with abundance as his zakah became forty thousand dinars. This hadith teaches us that no matter how difficult our situation may be at present, if we remain patient and trust in Allah then He will surely bless us with abundance in His own time. It also reminds us that it is important for Muslims to pay their obligatory charity or zakah as it helps those who are less fortunate than us.
