Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
Commenting revelation circumstances of aforementioned blessed verse, the renowned commentator, Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان has stated: There was a Suffah (raised veranda, porch) near Masjid-un-Nabawi where four to five hundred poor Muhajireen [those companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم that migrated from Makkah to Madinah] used to live. They possessed no house, no worldly belongings and no any trade but they would always spend their time in Masjid-un-Nabawi, fast during the day, recite the Quran and stay awake all the night long engrossed in prayers and blessed acts of worship.
It was their duty to accompany the Muslim army in the holy wars. They are called ‘Ashaab-e-Suffah’ (i.e. those companions who live on that veranda). Neither did they marry nor did they have any tribe or family in Madinah. Their state of extreme poverty was such that seventy amongst them did not even have sufficient clothes to properly cover their Satr [private parts of body]. Regarding them, this blessed verse was revealed in which Muslims were persuaded to give them Sadaqah and charity.
(Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, vol. 3, pp. 132)
The renowned and respected commentator, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان further stated: Giving Sadaqah and other charities to poor students, scholars and to those who are serving the Deen-e-Islam, etc., is Afdal (most excellent); as they have devoted their lives for serving the Deen. If they are not supported
