أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الْبَصْرِيُّ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَدَقَةٌ» قِيلَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْهَا؟ قَالَ «يَعْتَمِلُ بِيَدِهِ فَيَنْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ» قِيلَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ «يُعِينُ ذَا الْحَاجَةِ الْمَلْهُوفَ» قِيلَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ «يَأْمُرُ بِالْخَيْرِ» قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ «يُمْسِكُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ»

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "Every Muslim must give charity." It was said: "What if he cannot find anything?" He said: "He should work with his hands, benefiting himself and giving charity." It was said: "What if he cannot do that?" He said: "He should help a needy person in distress." It was said: "What if he cannot do that?" He said: "He should enjoin good." He said: "What if he cannot do that?" He said: "He should refrain from evil, for that is charity."
