Hadith 1374
My grandfather, my father and I gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) got me
engaged and then got me married. One day I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) with a complaint. My father Yazid
had taken some gold coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque (to give them to the
poor) But I went and took them and brought them to him (my father). My father said, "By Allah! I did
not intend to give them to you. " I took (the case) to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O
Yazid, you will be rewarded for what you intended. O Ma'n, whatever you have taken is yours."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 26

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, "A man said that he would give something in charity. He went out with
his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next morning the people said that he had
given his object of charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. I
will give alms again." And so he again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an
adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his alms to an adulteress last night. The
man said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I will give alms
again." So he went out with his alms again and (unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people)
next morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person. He said, "O Allah! All the praises
are for you. (I had given alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man." Then someone came
and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and
that given to the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual intercourse (adultery), and that
given to the wealthy man might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth which Allah has
given him, in Allah's cause." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 25

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when
there will be no shade except His. They are:
(1) a just ruler;
(2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone)
sincerely from his childhood),
(3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque (who offers the five compulsory congregational
prayers in the mosque);
(4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause
only;
(5) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an illegal sexual intercourse
with her and says: I am afraid of Allah;
(6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has
given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity).
(7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 27
