It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a person lends some dirhams to someone, or lends some milk, or gives a gift to a needy person, he will receive a reward equal to that of freeing a slave.

And when they come to their enclosure, their milk should be milked.

Hazrat Alqamah bin Zabraqan narrates that I asked Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), "What is the right of a camel?"

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "It is more beloved to me that I lend someone two hundred dirhams than that I give them in charity all at once."
