Sadqat K Fazail

Book Name:Sadqat K Fazail

4.   اَلصَّلٰوةُ بُرۡهَانٌ وَّ الصَّوۡمُ جُنَّةٌ وَّ الصَّدَقَةُ تُطۡفِئُ الۡخَطِيۡئَةَ كَمَا يُطۡفِئُ الۡمَاءُ النَّارَ  - Salah is an evidence (of faith), fasting is a shield (from sins) and charity erases sins as water extinguishes fire.[1]

5.   بَاکِرُوْا بِالصَّدَقَۃِ فَاِنَّ الْبَلَاءَ لَا یَتَخَـطَّی الصَّدَقَۃَ - Give charity early in the morning, because calamity does not step ahead of it.[2]

 

6.   اِنَّ صَدَقَةَ الۡمُسۡلِمِ تَزِيۡدُ فِي الۡعُمۡرِ وَ تَمۡنَعُ مِيۡتَةَ السُّوۡءِ وَ يُذۡهِبُ اللّٰهُ الۡكِبۡرَ وَالۡفَخۡرَ - Undoubtedly, a Muslim’s charity increases his age, and prevents bad death. Due to it, Allah frees the giver of charity from arrogance and pride.[3]

7.   اِنَّهَا حِجَابٌ مِّنَ النَّارِ لِمَنِ احۡتَسَبَهَا يَبۡتَغِيۡ بِهَا وَجۡهَ اللّٰهِ - Whoever gives charity for the sake of Allah, it becomes a shield between him and the fire.[4]

8.   اِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَتُطۡفِئُ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ وَتَدۡفَعُ مِيۡتَةَ السُّوۡءِ  - Undoubtedly, charity extinguishes the wrath of Allah and prevents bad death.[5]

 

Commenting on the last hadith, Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khān Naīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه writes:

(Alongside having a good end) The life of an almsgiving generous person is also good. Firstly, he suffers no worldly problems. If anything does arise as a test, Allah blesses him with serenity in his heart, which allows him to remain patient and earn reward.
