1110. EVERY KINDLY ACT IS CONSIDERED CHARITY

3526.بحار الأنوار : رُويَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله أنَّه قالَ : إنَّ على‏ كُلِّ مُسلمٍ في كلِّ يَومٍ صَدَقةً، قيلَ : مَن يُطِيقُ ذلكَ؟ قالَ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : إماطَتُكَ الأذى‏ عنِ الطَّريقِ صَدَقةٌ، وإرشادُكَ الرَّجُلَ إلى الطَّريقِ صَدَقةٌ، وعِيادَتُكَ المَريضَ صَدَقةٌ، وأمرُكَ بالمَعروفِ صَدَقةٌ، ونَهيُكَ عنِ المُنكَرِ صَدَقةٌ، ورَدُّكَ السَّلامَ صَدَقَةٌ .1

3526.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Verily every single Muslim is to give in charity every single day.’ When asked who would be capable of such a thing, he replied, ‘Your removal of an obstacle from the road is a charitable act; your guiding someone the way is a charitable act; your visiting the sick is a charitable act; your enjoinment of good to others is a charitable act; your forbidding others from wrongdoing is a charitable act, and your returning the greeting of peace is a charitable act.’2

3527.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : كُلُّ مَعروفٍ صَدَقةٌ .3

3527.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Every kindly act is considered charity.’4

3528.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : أمسِكْ لِسانَكَ؛ فإنّها صَدَقةٌ تَصَدَّقُ بها على‏ نَفسِكَ .5

3528.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Guard your tongue, for verily this is a charitable act that you perform for your own sake.’6

3529.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : تَركُ الشَّرِّ صَدَقةٌ .7

3529.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Abandoning evil [acts] is an act of charity.’8

3530.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : صَدَقةٌ يُحِبُّها اللَّهُ : إصلاحٌ بينَ الناسِ إذا تَفاسَدُوا، وتَقارُبٌ بَينَهِم إذا تَباعَدُوا .9

3530.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘A charitable act that Allah loves indeed is reconciling people when they have become estranged to one another, and bringing them close together when they have become distanced from each other.’10

3531.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إسماعُ الأصَمِّ مِن غَيرِ تَضَجُّرٍ صَدَقةٌ هَنِيئَةٌ .11

3531.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Making a deaf person hear without becoming irritated is a wholesome act of charity.’12
