Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
We have learnt that anything spent in the way of Allah is never a loss. The spender not only is entitled to his due reward in the Hereafter, but sometimes he also gets increase in his wealth in this world together with an immediate replacement as a recompense as well.
Sayyiduna Imam Yaafi’i عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی quotes a parable in Raud-ur-Riyaheen: Once a beggar came to the door of Sayyiduna Habib ‘Ajami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی. The noble wife of Sayyiduna Habib ‘Ajami had gone to get fire from the neighbour in order to bake bread from the flour that she had already kneaded. Sayyiduna Habib ‘Ajami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی took that flour and handed it over to beggar. When his noble wife returned with the fire, she found the kneaded flour missing. Sayyiduna Habib ‘Ajami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی commented that it was taken to be baked. At insistence, Sayyiduna Habib ‘Ajami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی disclosed his act of charity. She replied, ‘سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰه! This is an excellent act of gracious kindness but we also in need of something to eat.’ Shortly after, a person appeared bringing a big bowl full of meat and bread. She said, ‘Look, how quickly you got a return. Not only is the bread baked, in addition, mutton with gravy was also sent.’ (Raud-ur-Riyaheen, pp. 276)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on them and forgive us without accountability for their sake!
