Jami at-Tirmidhi 2325 (Book 36, Hadith 22) #27959
The Rewards of Patience & Charity

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that Allah rewards those who are patient and charitable with wealth, knowledge, and honor. It also explains that the world is only for four types of people: those who have both wealth and knowledge; those who have knowledge but not wealth; those who have wealth but not knowledge; and those who have neither.

Abu Kabshah Al-Anmari narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "There are three things for which I swear and narrate to you about, so remember it". He said: "The wealth of a slave (of Allah) shall not be decreased by charity, no slave (of Allah) suffers injustice and is patient with it except that Allah adds to his honor; no slave (of Allah) opens up a door to begging except that Allah opens a door for him to poverty"- or a statement similar- "And I shall narrate to you a narration, so remember it". He said: "The world is only for four persons: A slave whom Allah provides with wealth and knowledge, so he has Taqwa of his Lord with it, nurtures the ties of kinship with it, and he knows that Allah has a right in it. So this is the most virtuous rank. And a slave whom Allah provides with knowledge, but He does not provide with wealth. So he has a truthful intent, saying: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it'. He has his intention, so their rewards are the same. And a slave whom Allah provides with wealth, but He does not provide him with knowledge. So he spends his wealth rashly without knowledge, nor having Taqwa of his Lord, nor nurturing the ties of kinship, and he does not know that Allah has a right in it. So this is the most despicable rank. And a slave whom Allah does not provide with wealth nor knowledge, so he says: 'If I had wealth, then I would do the deeds of so-and-so with it'. He has his intention, so their sin is the same".

This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us about the importance of patience and charity in our lives. He tells us that if we are patient when faced with injustice, Allah will reward us with honor. He also tells us that if we give charity from our wealth, it will not be decreased by doing so. Furthermore, he warns against opening up a door to begging as this can lead to poverty. Lastly, he explains that there are four types of people in this world -those with both wealth and knowledge; those with only knowledge; those with only wealth; and lastly, those without either- each having their own rank in terms of virtue or vice depending on how they use their resources or lack thereof.
