الخامس والعشرون: عن أبي موس رضي الله عنه، عن

النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «على كل مسلم صدقة«قال: أرأيت إن لم يجد؟ قال: أرأيت إن لم يستطع؟ قال: «يعين ذا الحاجة الملهوف«قال: أرأيت إن لم يستطع؟ قال: «يأمر بالمعروف أو الخير«قال: أرأيت إن لم يفعل؟ قال: يمسك عن الشر فإنها صدقة»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Giving in charity is an obligation upon every Muslim”. It was said (to him): “What about one who does not find (the means) to do so?”

He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Let him work with his hands, thus doing benefit to himself and give in charity.” It was said to him: “What if he does not have (the means) to do so?”

He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Then let him assist the needy, the aggrieved.” It was said: “What about if he cannot even do this?” He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Then he should enjoin good.”

He was asked: “What if he cannot do that?” He (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said, “He should then abstain from evil, for verily, that is a charity from him”.
