Hadith text

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On every Muslim there is enjoined (a compulsory) Sadaqa (alms)." They (the people) said, "If one has nothing?' He said, "He should work with his hands so that he may benefit himself and give in charity." They said, "If he cannot work or does not work?" He said, "Then he should help the oppressed unhappy person (by word or action or both)." They said, "If he does not do it?" He said, "Then he should enjoin what is good (or said what is reasonable).' They said, "If he does not do that''' He said, "Then he should refrain from doing evil, for that will be considered for Him as a Sadaqa (charity)

Abu Musa Al-Ashari bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Har Musalmaan par (ek zaroori) Sadqa farz hai.' Unhone (logon ne) pucha, 'Agar kisi ke paas kuch na ho?' Unhone kaha, 'To use apne haathon se kaam karna chaahiye taake wo khud ko faayda pahunchaaye aur sadqa de.' Unhone kaha, 'Agar wo kaam nahi kar sakta ya nahi karta?' Unhone kaha, 'To use kisi mazloom, dukhi shaks ki madad karni chaahiye (baaton se, amal se, ya dono se).' Unhone kaha, 'Agar wo aisa nahi karta?' Unhone kaha, 'To use achhi baat ki taakeed karni chaahiye (ya kaha munaasib baat).' Unhone kaha, 'Agar wo aisa nahi karta?' Unhone kaha, 'To use bura karne se bachna chaahiye, kyunke ye bhi uske liye Sadqa mana jaayega.'
