Sahih Muslim 26b (Book 1, Hadith 44) #7309
Generosity and Kindness Despite Unkindness

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that one should be generous and kind to others, even if they are not generous and kind in return.

It is narrated on the authority of Humran that he heard Uthman saying this: I heard the Messenger of Allah uttering these words (as stated above).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Humran states that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us to be generous and kind to others, even if they are not generous or kind in return. This is an important lesson for all of us as it teaches us to always act with kindness regardless of how we are treated. We should strive to treat everyone with respect, no matter what their attitude towards us may be. Additionally, this hadith encourages us to give charity or sadaqah as a way of showing our generosity towards those who may not have the same resources as we do. By doing so, we can help those in need while also fulfilling our religious obligations.

Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that Allah rewards those who show kindness even when it is not reciprocated by others. We should never expect anything in return for our good deeds but rather focus on doing them out of love for Allah and His Messenger (PBUH). In this way, we can ensure that our actions will be rewarded both here on earth and in the hereafter.
