Sadqay ka Inaam | The Reward of Giving Sadaqah
Whilst on his way Sayyiduna Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم saw a man standing with a she-camel. He asked, ‘O Abal Hasan[1]! Will you buy this she-camel from me? He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ replied, ‘Why not, how much does it cost?’ The person said, ‘100 dirhams.’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم replied, ‘I don’t have money.’ The seller said, ‘Buy it on credit and make the payment when you get the money.’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم replied, ‘Well said!’ Hence, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ accepted the deal and bought the she-camel on credit for 100 dirhams. After going a short distance, another person approached him and asked, ‘O Abal Hasan! Will you sell this she-camel?’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم answered, ‘Why not.’ The person questioned, ‘How much did it cost you?’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم responded ‘100 dirhams.’ The person said, ‘Sell it to me for a profit of 60 dirhams.’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم accepted the deal and sold the she-camel for 160 dirhams.
On his way back Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم met that seller and who asked after seeing him without the she-camel, ‘Where is that she-camel? Did you sell it?’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ responded, ‘Yes! I have sold it.’ The seller asked, ‘For how much?’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم said, ‘For 160 dirhams.’ The seller requested, ‘Kindly return my 100 dirhams.’ Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم returned the 100 dirhams and handed over the remaining 60 dirhams to Khatoon-e-Jannat رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْهَا.
