Hudhaifa and Abu Shaiba reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Every act of goodness is sadaqa.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: some of the people from among the Companions of the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Messenger of Allah, the rich have taken away (all the) reward. They observe prayer as we do; they keep the fasts as we keep, and they give Sadaqa out of their surplus riches. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Has Allah not prescribed for you (a course) by following which you can (also) do sadaqa? In every declaration of the glorification of Allah (i. e. saying Subhan Allah) there is a Sadaqa, and every Takbir (i. e. saying Allah-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-Allah) 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 Allah, 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.

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Every one of the children of Adam ؑhas been created with three hundred and sixty joints; so he who declares the Glory of Allah, praises Allah, declares Allah to be One, Glorifies Allah, and seeks forgiveness from Allah, and removes stone, or thorn, or bone from people's path, and enjoins what is good and forbids from evil, to the number of those three hundred and sixty-four, will walk that day having removed himself from Hell.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zaid with the same chain of transmitters except with (a slight) change of words (i. e. he [the Holy Prophet] ) said: Or he enjoined what is good,... and said: He enters the evening [ie. he walks till evening] .

This hadith has been narrated by 'A'isha through another chain of transmitters in which she reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: "Every man is created"; the rest of the hadith is the same and he said: "He walks on that day."

Sa'id bin Abu Burda reported on the authority of his grandfather that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Giving of Sadaqa is essential for every Muslim. It was said (to him): What do you say of him who does not find (the means) to do so? He said: Let him work with both his hands, thus doing benefit to himself and give Sadaqa. It was said to him: What about him who does not have (the means) to do so? He said: Then let him assist the needy, the aggrieved. It was said: What do you say of one who cannot even do this? He said: Then he should enjoin what is reputable or what is good. He said: What about him if he cannot do that? He (the Holy Prophet) said: He should then abstain from evil, for verily that is Sadaqa on his behalf.

This hadith has been narrated by Shu'bah with the same chain of transmitters.

Hammam bin Munabbih reported that-this is out of (those ahadith) which Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated to us from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . And he while making a mention of ahadith reported from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said this: Sadaqa is due on every joint of a person, every day the sun rises. Administering of justice between two men is also a Sadaqa. And assisting a man to ride upon his beast, or helping him load his luggage upon it, is a Sadaqa; and a good word is a Sadaqa; and every step that you take towards prayer is a Sadaqa, and removing of harmful things from the pathway is a Sadaqa.
