Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
1. Until yesterday he was just a beggar, begging for a living and I used to feed him. Today he gives me an angry look.
When his mother was suffering and dying in the hospital, I came to their assistance.
I arranged his daughter’s wedding, and now he has forgotten all my favours, he is very ungrateful etc.
Remember! This behaviour will lead to a total loss, because you have already spent your wealth, so, don’t lose your reward by taunting and disclosing your favours. As it is stated in the following blessed verse:
یٰۤاَ یُّہَا ا لَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡ ا لَا تُبۡطِلُوۡ ا صَدَ قٰتِکُمۡ بِا لۡمَنِّ وَ الۡاَذٰی ۙ
O people who believe! Do not invalidate your charity by expressing favour and causing hurt (to recipient).
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Al-Baqarah, verse 264)
Commenting on aforementioned blessed verse, Sayyiduna Abul Barakaat ‘Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Mahmood Nasafi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی (passed away in 710 Hijri) has stated: As the hypocrite does not aim to seek the Divine pleasure, he squanders his wealth by spending whilst showing off & ostentation, in the same way you do not waste the rewards of your Sadaqat by exposing your favours to others and hurting the feelings of the recipient. (Tafseer Madarik, part 3, Al-Baqarah, Taht-al-Ayah 264, pp. 137)
