The wife of the Messenger, Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), says that I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this verse: «وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ» "And those who give what they give while their hearts tremble." (23-Al-Mu’minun:60) I said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Are the people referred to in this verse those who drink alcohol and steal? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, O daughter of As-Siddiq! The people meant in this verse are those who fast, perform prayers, and give charity, but at the same time they fear that perhaps these deeds may not be accepted." «أُولَـئِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ» "These are the ones who hasten to good deeds." (23-Al-Mu’minun:61)
