حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ، (وَهُوَ ابْنُ مَيْمُونٍ) حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلٌ، مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ الدُّؤَلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يُصْبِحُ عَلَى كُلِّ سُلَامَى مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ فَكُلُّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ تَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ تَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَأَمْرٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ وَنَهْىٌ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ وَيُجْزِئُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رَكْعَتَانِ يَرْكَعُهُمَا مِنَ الضُّحَى»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: In the morning charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah’s glorification is an act of charity. Every utterance of praise of Him is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Oneness is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Greatness is an act of charity, enjoining good is an act of charity, forbidding what is distreputable is an act of charity, and two rakahs which one prays in the forenoon will suffice.

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ (রহঃ) ..... আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম অপবিত্রতা থেকে গোসলের সময় প্রথমে তার উভয় হাত কজি পর্যন্ত তিনবার ধুতেন। এরপর আবূ মুআবিয়ার হাদীসের অবিকল উল্লেখ করেন কিন্তু তিনি উভয় পা ধোয়ার কথা উল্লেখ করেননি।

وکیع نے ہشام کی اسی سند کے ساتھ حضرت عائشہ ؓ سے حدیث بیان کی کہ رسو ل اللہ ﷺ نے جنابت سےغسل فرمایا ، آغاز کرتے ہوئے تین بار ہتھلیاں دھوئیں ..... پھر ابو معاویہ کی حدیث کی طرح بیان کیا ، تاہم پاؤں دھونے کا ذکر نہ کیا ۔

Bize Ebu Bekr b. Ebi Şeybe de rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Veki' rivayet ettit (Dediki): Bize Hişam, babasından, o da Âişe'den naklen rivayet etti ki, Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) «cünüblükten yıkanmış ve evvela üç defa ellerini yıkamış...» Bundan sonra ravi hadîsi Ebu Muaviyeninki gibi rivayet etmiş. Fakat (o da) ayakların yıkanacağını zikretmemiştir. Yalnız Müslim rivayet etmiştir

Sahih Muslim 720, Book 6, The Book of Prayer - Travellers, Hadith 101. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that every religiously accountable Muslim should give every day a voluntary charity on behalf of every single one of his bone joints as a form of expressing gratitude to Allah Almighty for well-being and for creating his bones with joints that allow him to grasp and stretch.

This charity can be fulfilled not through giving money alone but through all types of righteous acts, which include: Acting justly and reconciling between those in disagreement counts as a charity. Helping someone disabled with his mount by helping him ride on it or lifting his luggage on it counts as a charity. The good word, whether it is Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), supplication, greeting of peace, or otherwise counts as a charity.

Every step you take to the prayer counts as a charity. Removing what is harmful from the way counts as a charity.

What it teaches

  • The structure of the bones of human beings and their soundness are among the greatest blessings of Allah Almighty upon them. Hence, each bone needs charity to be given on its behalf to show due gratitude for such a blessing.
  • Encouraging the act of renewing gratitude daily to maintain such blessings.
  • Encouraging the constant observance of voluntary acts of worship and charity on a daily basis.
  • The merit of reconciling between people.
  • Encouraging a Muslim to help his fellow Muslim as this counts as a charity.
  • Encouraging the attendance of the congregational prayers and walking thereto and maintaining mosques.
  • It is obligatory to respect the Muslims' roads by avoiding what hurts or harms them.
