Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In every sermon that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us, he certainly commanded us to give charity, and forbade us from mutilation. (Mutilation refers to cutting the ears, nose, etc., of a dead person.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim Ta’i (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Save yourselves from the Fire, even if it be by giving a piece of date; and if you cannot do that, then (save yourselves) by saying a good word.”
