(Book 58, Hadith 4) #36889
Generosity Encouraged by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged women to be generous and not to despise giving even if it is a small gift.

Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from Amr ibn Muadh al- Ashali al-Ansari that his grandmother said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'O trusting women! Let none of you despise giving to her neighbour even if it is only a roasted sheep's trotter'.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُعَاذٍ الأَشْهَلِيِّ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ يَا نِسَاءَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ لاَ تَحْقِرَنَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ أَنْ تُهْدِيَ لِجَارَتِهَا وَلَوْ كُرَاعَ شَاةٍ مُحْرَقًا
