Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
‘﴿اَبۡقَيۡتُ لَهُمُ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَه﴾’ i.e. I have left Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم for them[1].
Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘After this incident, I was totally convinced: وَاللّٰهِ لَا اَسۡبِقُهُ اِلٰي شَيۡءٍ اَبَدًا By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I can never excel him [Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ] in anything.’
(Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, Kitab-ul-Manaqib, vol. 5, pp. 380, Hadees 3695)
[1] Commenting on this part of blessed Hadees, respected Mufti Sahib رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: Spending all his wealth in the path of Allah is particularly a unique quality & excellence of Sayyiduna Siddeeq-e-Akbar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. Neither will there be anybody like him or his blessed family in having complete trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, nor would anyone spend everything in the way of Allah. People like us are commanded to give some part of our wealth in charity: ﴿وَ اَنۡفِقُوۡا مِنۡ مَّا رَزَقۡنٰکُمۡ﴾ (And spend in Our path from what We have provided you).
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 28, Surah Al-Munafiqoon, verse 10)
‘مِنۡ’ in ‘مِمَّا’ refers to ‘some’. If we spend all our wealth and hold patience but our family would die of starvation in difficult time. Bear in mind, a true worshipper has his own way of offering Salah and paying Zakah, a true devotee of Allah and His Beloved Rasool has his own marvellous way and similarly a mystic too has his own distinctive way of performing blessed acts. Zakah of the true worshippers is one-fortieth (2.5%) after one year, Zakah of the true devotees are to sacrifice everything as soon as they observe any gesture to pay. Salah of the true worshipper is under the shadow of the walls of the Masajid and Salah of the true devotee is under the shadow of swords. Through the answer given by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, we learned that giving charity in the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and trusting in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not a shirk [polytheism] but indeed is a firm Iman. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, pp. 355)
