Being Generous with Zakat

SUMMARY: When the collector of Zakat comes, it is important to make sure that they leave pleased with you.

Jarir b. 'Abdullah said: 'When the collector of sadaqat (Zakat) comes to you, (you should see) that he goes away pleased with you.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، وَأَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، وَابْنُ، أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَعَبْدُ الأَعْلَى كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ دَاوُدَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَتَاكُمُ الْمُصَدِّقُ فَلْيَصْدُرْ عَنْكُمْ وَهُوَ عَنْكُمْ رَاضٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be generous when giving your zakat

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages us to be generous when giving our zakat. Zakat is an obligation in Islam and it is a form of charity that Muslims give to those in need. It is important for us to be generous when giving our zakat so that the collector leaves feeling pleased and satisfied with what we have given them. We should not be stingy or miserly when giving our zakat as this goes against the teachings of Islam and will not please Allah SWT. We should also remember that whatever we give away in charity will come back to us multiplied many times over by Allah SWT's grace and mercy.
