It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Charity is obligatory upon every joint of each one of you every morning, and every utterance of Subhanallah is charity, every utterance of La ilaha illallah is charity, every utterance of Allahu Akbar is charity, every utterance of Alhamdulillah is charity, enjoining good is charity, and forbidding evil is charity. And all these are sufficed by the two rak‘ahs that any one of you prays at the time of Duha. Remove a thorn, bone, or stone from the path of people, guide a blind person on the way, explain something to a mute or deaf person, guide a needy person to the place where you know his need can be fulfilled, run with your shins to help an oppressed or distressed person, lift up a weak person with the strength of your hands—these are all doors of charity from you upon yourself. In fact, you even receive reward for intimacy with your wife. Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: How can I receive reward for fulfilling my desire? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Suppose a child is born to you and you hope for good from him, but he dies—do you hope for reward for that? I said: Yes! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you create him? I replied: No, rather Allah created him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Did you guide him? I replied: No, rather Allah guided him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Did you provide for him? I replied: No, rather Allah provided for him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In the same way, use it in a lawful manner and avoid the unlawful. If Allah wills, He will grant life to someone, and if He wills, He will grant death to someone, but you will receive reward for it.
