Sahih Muslim 1078a (Book 12, Hadith 229) #9628
Blessing Charity Givers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would bless those who brought him charity and when Abu Aufa brought him charity, he specifically blessed the posterity of Abu Aufa.

'Abdullah b. Abu Aufa said that it was the common practice of the Messenger of Allah that when the people brought to him sadaqa he blessed them: O Allah, bless them. So when Abu Aufa brought to him Sadaqa he (the Holy Prophet) said: O Allah, bless, the posterity of Abu Aufa.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى، ح . وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُرَّةَ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا أَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ بِصَدَقَتِهِمْ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَتَاهُ أَبِي أَبُو أَوْفَى بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِي أَوْفَى

QUICK LESSONS:
Give in charity with sincerity expecting reward from Allah

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his generosity and kindness to all people, especially those who gave in charity. He would often bless them with a prayer that Allah would also bless them in return. In this particular hadith, Abdullah b. Abu Aufa recounts how the Prophet Muhammad specifically blessed the posterity of Abu Aufa when he brought him sadaqa or charity. This hadith teaches us that giving in charity is an act of great virtue and should be done with sincerity as it will be rewarded by Allah not only for ourselves but also for our descendants after us. It also shows us how generous and kind the Prophet Muhammad was to all people regardless of their social status or wealth; even if someone could only give a small amount, he still showed them respect and appreciation by blessing them with his prayers.
