Sunan Ibn Majah 1796 (Book 8, Hadith 14) #31148
Blessing for Generosity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) blessed a man who brought Sadaqah to him and prayed for the family of Abu Awfa.

Abdullah bin Abu Awfa said: "Whenever a man brought Sadaqah to the Messenger of Allah, he would bless him. I brought him the Sadaqah of my wealth and he said: 'Allhumma, salli ala ali abi awfa(O Allah! Send blessing upon the family of Abu Awfa)'. "
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الرَّجُلُ بِصَدَقَةِ مَالِهِ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِصَدَقَةِ مَالِي فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِي أَوْفَى
