الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَا:
خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَفِيهِ: مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِوَزْنِ كُلِّ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْهَا مِثْلَ جَبَلِ أُحُدٍ مِنْ نَعِيمِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَنْ مَشَى بِهَا إِلَى مِسْكِينٍ كَانَ لَهُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، وَلَوْ تَدَاوَلَهَا أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ إِنْسَانٍ حَتَّى تَصِلَ إِلَى الْمِسْكِينِ، كَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ الْأَجْرِ كَامِلًا، وَمَا عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَأَحْسَنُوا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us and mentioned the hadith, in which there is: 'Whoever gives charity, Allah, the Exalted, will give him for the weight of every atom of it the like of Mount Uhud from the bliss of Paradise. And whoever carries it to a needy person will have the like of that. Even if forty thousand people pass it from hand to hand until it reaches the needy person, each one of them will have the like of that reward in full. And what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who fear Allah and do good.'
