And the explanation that Allah Almighty accepts charity and nurtures it for the one who gives charity. And the explanation that Allah Almighty accepts charity only from pure wealth.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever a Muslim man gives charity from his lawful and pure earnings—and Allah accepts only charity given from lawful wealth—then Allah takes that charity in His right hand and nurtures it just as one of you nurtures his foal, or he said, his calf, until even a single date (given in charity) becomes as large as the mountain of Uhud." Janab Utbah says that the meaning of "faluwahu" is a foal, and I did not record the words "as large as Uhud" in the narration of Janab Uqbah.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a servant gives charity from his lawful and pure earnings, Allah accepts it and takes it in His right hand, and nurtures it just as one of you nurtures his foal or calf. Indeed, a person gives charity of a single morsel, and it is nurtured in the hand of Allah—or he said: 'in the palm of Allah'—until it becomes like a mountain. Therefore, give charity."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as narrated in the hadith of ‘Abdur Razzaq. There is an addition in the narration of Ja‘far that its confirmation is also in the Book of Allah «‏‏‏‏يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة البقرة: 276 ] “Allah destroys usury and increases charity.”

Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he mentioned the Fire of Hell, then sought Allah’s protection from it, and, expressing aversion to it, turned his blessed face away two or three times. Then he said:“Protect yourselves from the Fire of Hell, even if it be by giving half a date in charity; and if you do not have that, then save yourselves by speaking a good word.”

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Protect yourselves from the Fire, even if it is by giving a piece of a date in charity." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Ismail refers to Ismail bin Muslim Makki, and I am free from responsibility regarding him.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give charity to save yourself from the Fire, even if it is only a piece of a date."

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Every person will be under the shade of his charity until judgment is passed among the people." Or he said: "Until judgment is made among the people." Yazid narrates that because of this, Abu al-Khair used to give some charity every day, even if it was just a cake or an onion, he would give that as charity.

Hazrat Yazid bin Abi Habib narrates from Mirthad bin Abdullah Mazni (may Allah have mercy on him) that he was the first among the people of Egypt to go to the mosque. And whenever I saw him entering the mosque, he always had some cash, bread, or wheat in his sleeve to give as charity, until sometimes I saw that he would even bring onions for charity. So I said, "O Abu al-Khair, onions make your clothes smell bad." He replied, "O Ibn Habib, there was nothing else in my house to give as charity except this (so I brought it)." While a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the shade of the believer will be his charity."

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when deeds boast among themselves, charity says, "I am the best among you all."
