Give charity with sincerity for Allah's pleasure only

On the day of Eid, Prophet Muhammad offered a two-rak'at prayer and then went towards the women. He asked them to give alms in charity as an act of worship. Bilal was accompanying him at that time. The women started giving their earrings and other items as charity. This hadith teaches us that giving charity is an important part of our faith and it should be done with sincerity for Allah's pleasure only. It also shows us how generous our beloved Prophet was towards others even though he himself was in need of nothing.
