Hadith text

Narrated Abu Burda:from his father from his grandfather that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every Muslim has to give in charity." The people asked, "O Allah's Prophet! If someone has nothing to give, what will he do?" He said, "He should work with his hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns)." The people further asked, "If he cannot find even that?" He replied, "He should help the needy who appeal for help." Then the people asked, "If he cannot do that?" He replied, "Then he should perform good deeds and keep away from evil deeds and this will be regarded as charitable deeds

Abu Burda bataate hain, apne waalid ke hawale se, unke dada ke hawale se: Nabi ne farmaya: "Har Musalman ko sadqa dena chahiye." Logon ne pucha: "Ya Allah ke Nabi! Agar kisi ke paas dene ko kuch na ho, to woh kya kare?" Aap ne farmaya: "Use apne haathon se kaam karna chahiye jisse use aur usse mile paison se sadqa dene mein faida ho." Logon ne phir pucha: "Agar usse yeh bhi na mile?" Aap ne jawab diya: "Use zaroorat-mand ki madad karni chahiye jo madad maange." Log phir pucha: "Agar woh yeh bhi na kar sake?" Aap ne jawab diya: "To use neik kaam karne chahiye aur bure kaamon se bachna chahiye, aur yehi sadqa mana jaayega."
