Abu Dharr reported: some of the people from among the Companions of the Prophet of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: Messenger of Allaah, the rich have taken away (air the) reward. They observe prayer as we do; they keep the fasts as we keep, and tray give Sadaqa out of their surplus riches. Upon this he (the Prophet) said: Has Allaah not prescribed for you (a course) by following which you can (also) do sadaqa? In every declaration of the glorification of Allaah (i. e. saying Subhan Allaah) there is a Sadaqa, and every Takbir (i. e. saying Allaah-O-Akbar) is a sadaqa, and every praise of His (saying al-Hamdu Lillah) is a Sadaqa and every declaration that He is One (La illha ill-Allaah) is a sadaqa, and enjoining of good is a sadaqa, and forbidding of that which is evil is a Sadaqa, and in man's sexual Intercourse (with his wife, ) there is a Sadaqa. They (the Companions) said: Messenger of Allaah, is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward. |
