Sahih Muslim 1074a (Book 12, Hadith 222) #9621
The Blessing of Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that charity is a blessing for both the giver and the receiver.

Anas b. Malik reported that Barirah presented to the Messenger of Allah a piece of meat which had been given to her as sadaqa. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: That is a Sadaqa for her and a gift for us.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ، الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أَهْدَتْ بَرِيرَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ لَحْمًا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of charity and giving to those in need. It shows us that when we give to others out of kindness and generosity, it is not only beneficial for them but also for ourselves as well. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that when Barirah gave him a piece of meat as sadaqa, it was both a sadaqa for her and a gift for them. This teaches us that even small acts of kindness can have great rewards in this life and the hereafter. We should strive to be generous with our time, money, resources or anything else we can offer to help those in need.
