***2:43*** 

43. Dan dirikanlah shalat, tunaikanlah zakat dan ruku'lah beserta

orang-orang yang ruku' [44]

[44] Yang dimaksud ialah: shalat berjama'ah dan dapat pula

diartikan:  Tunduklah kepada perintah-perintah Allah bersama-sama

orang-orang yang tunduk.

***2:83*** 

83. Dan (ingatlah), ketika Kami mengambil janji dari Bani Israil

(yaitu): Janganlah kamu menyembah selain Allah, dan berbuat

kebaikanlah kepada ibu bapa, kaum kerabat, anak-anak yatim, dan

orang-orang miskin, serta ucapkanlah kata-kata yang baik kepada

manusia, dirikanlah shalat dan tunaikanlah zakat. Kemudian kamu

tidak memenuhi janji itu, kecuali sebahagian kecil daripada kamu,

dan kamu selalu berpaling.

***2:110*** 

110. Dan dirikanlah shalat dan tunaikanlah zakat. Dan kebaikan apa saja

yang kamu usahakan bagi dirimu, tentu kamu akan mendapat pahala

nya pada sisi Allah. Sesungguhnya Alah Maha Melihat apa-apa yang

kamu kerjakan.

***2:177*** 

177. Bukanlah menghadapkan wajahmu ke arah timur dan barat itu suatu

kebajikan, akan tetapi sesungguhnya kebajikan itu ialah beriman

kepada Allah, hari kemudian, malaikat-malaikat,

kitab-kitab, nabi-nabi dan memberikan harta yang dicintainya kepada

kerabatnya, anak-anak yatim, orang-orang miskin, musafir (yang

memerlukan pertolongan) dan orang-orang yang meminta-minta; dan

(memerdekakan) hamba sahaya, mendirikan shalat, dan menunaikan zakat;

dan orang-orang yang menepati janjinya apabila ia berjanji, dan

orang-orang yang sabar dalam kesempitan, penderitaan dan dalam

peperangan. Mereka itulah orang-orang yang benar (imannya); dan

mereka itulah orang-orang yang bertakwa.

#Qishaash dan hikmahnya.

***2:277*** 

277. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman, mengerjakan amal saleh,

mendirikan shalat dan menunaikan zakat, mereka mendapat pahala di

sisi Tuhannya. Tidak ada kekhawatiran terhadap mereka dan tidak

(pula) mereka bersedih hati.

***4:77*** 

77. Tidakkah kamu perhatikan orang-orang yang dikatakan kepada mereka

[317] : "Tahanlah tanganmu (dari berperang), dirikanlah

sembahyang dan tunaikanlah zakat !" Setelah diwajibkan kepada

mereka berperang, tiba-tiba sebahagian dari mereka (golongan

munafik) takut kepada manusia (musuh), seperti takutnya kepada

Allah, bahkan lebih sangat dari itu takutnya. Mereka berkata :

"Ya Tuhan kami, mengapa Engkau wajibkan berperang kepada kami ?

Mengapa tidak Engkau tangguhkan (kewajiban berperang) kepada

kami sampai kepada beberapa waktu lagi ?" Katakanlah :

"Kesenangan di dunia ini hanya sebentar dan akhirat itu lebih baik

untuk orang-orang yang bertakwa, dan kamu tidak akan dianiaya

sedikitpun [318].

[317] Orang-orang yang menampakkan dirinya beriman dan minta izin

berperang sebelum ada perintah berperang.

[318] Artinya pahala turut berperang tidak akan dikurangi

sedikitpun.

***4:162*** 

162. Tetapi orang-orang yang mendalam ilmunya di antara mereka dan

orang-orang mu'min, mereka beriman kepada apa yang telah diturunkan

kepadamu (Al Qur'an), dan apa yang telah diturunkan sebelummu dan

orang-orang yang mendirikan shalat, menunaikan zakat, dan yang

beriman kepada Allah dan hari kemudian. Orang-orang itulah yang

akan Kami berikan kepada mereka pahala yang besar.

#Persamaan pokok-pokok Agama yang diwahyukan kepada para rasul.

***5:12*** 

12. Dan sesungguhnya Allah telah mengambil perjanjian (dari) Bani

Israil dan telah Kami angkat diantara mereka 12 orang pemimpin

dan Allah berfirman: "Sesungguhnya Aku beserta kamu, sesungguhnya

jika kamu mendirikan shalat dan menunaikan zakat serta beriman

kepada rasul-rasul-Ku dan kamu bantu mereka dan kamu pinjamkan

kepada Allah pinjaman yang baik [406] sesungguhnya Aku akan

menutupi dosa-dosamu. Dan sesungguhnya kamu akan Kumasukkan ke

dalam surga yang mengalir air didalamnya sungai-sungai. Maka

barangsiapa yang kafir di antaramu sesudah itu, sesungguhnya ia

telah tersesat dari jalan yang lurus.

[406] Maksudnya ialah: menafkahkan harta untuk menunaikan

kewajiban dengan hati yang ikhlas.

***5:55*** 

55. Sesungguhnya penolong kamu hanyalah Allah, Rasul-Nya, dan orang-

orang yang beriman, yang mendirikan shalat dan menunaikan zakat,

seraya mereka tunduk (kepada Allah).

***7:156*** 

156. Dan tetapkanlah untuk kami kebajikan di dunia ini dan di

akhirat; sesungguhnya kami kembali (bertaubat) kepada Engkau.  Allah

berfirman: "Siksa-Ku akan Kutimpakan kepada siapa yang Aku kehendaki

dan rahmat-Ku meliputi segala sesuatu.  Maka akan Aku tetapkan

rahmat-Ku untuk orang-orang yang bertakwa, yang menunaikan zakat dan

orang-orang yang beriman kepada ayat-ayat Kami".

***9:5*** 

5. Apabila sudah habis bulan-bulan Haram itu [630], maka bunuhlah

orang-orang musyrikin itu dimana saja kamu jumpai mereka, dan

tangkaplah mereka. Kepunglah mereka dan intailah ditempat

pengintaian. Jika mereka bertaubat dan mendirikan sholat dan

menunaikan zakat, maka berilah kebebasan kepada mereka untuk

berjalan [631]. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi maha

Penyayang.

[630] Yang dimaksud dengan bulan Haram disini ialah: masa 4 bulan

yang diberi tangguh kepada kamu musyrikin itu, yaitu mulai tanggal

10 Zulhijjah (hari turunnya ayat ini) sampai dengan 10 Rabi'ul akhir.

[631] Maksudnya: terjamin keamanan mereka.

***9:11*** 

11. Jika mereka bertaubat, mendirikan sholat dan menunaikan zakat,

maka (mereka itu) adalah saudara-saudaramu seagama. Dan Kami

menjelaskan ayat-ayat itu bagi kaum yang mengetahui.

***9:18*** 

18. Hanya yang memakmurkan masjid-masjid Allah ialah orang-orang yang

beriman kepada Allah dan Hari kemudian, serta tetap mendirikan

shalat, emnunaikan zakat dan tidak takut (kepada siapapun) selain

kepada Allah, maka merekalah orang-orang yang diharapkan termasuk

golongan orang-orang yang mendapat petunjuk.

***9:58*** 

58. Dan di antara mereka ada orang yang mencelamu tentang

(distribusi) zakat; jika mereka diberi sebahagian dari padanya,

mereka bersenang hati, dan jika mereka tidak diberi sebahagian dari

padanya, dengan serta merta mereka menjadi marah.

***9:59*** 

59. Jikalau mereka sungguh-sungguh ridha dengan apa yang diberikan

Allah dan RasulNya kepada mereka, dan berkata: "Cukuplah Allah

bagi kami, Allah akan memberikan sebagian dari karunia-Nya dan

demikian (pula) Rasul-Nya, sesungguhnya kami adalah orang-orang

yang berharap kepada Allah," (tentulah yang demikian itu lebih

baik bagi mereka).

Ketentuan pembagian zakat

***9:60*** 

60. Sesungguhnya zakat-zakat itu, hanyalah untuk orang-orang fakir,

orang-orang miskin, pengurus-pengurus zakat, para mu'allaf yang

dibujuk hatinya, untuk (memerdekakan) budak, orang-orang yang

berhutang, untuk jalan Allah dan untuk mereka yuang sedang dalam

perjalanan, sebagai suatu ketetapan yang diwajibkan Allah, dan

Allah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Bijaksana [647].

[647] Yang berhak menerima zakat ialah:

1. Orang fakir: orang yang amat sengsara hidupnya, tidak mempunyai

harta dan tenaga untuk memenuhi penghidupannya.

2. Orang miskin: orang yang tidak cukup penghidupannya

dan dalam keadaan kekurangan.

3. Pengurus zakat: orang yang diberi tugas untuk

mengumpulkan dan membagikan zakat.

4. Muallaf: orang kafir yang ada harapan masuk Islam dan

orang yang baru masuk Islam yang imannya masih lemah.

5. Memerdekakan budak: mencakup juga untuk melepaskan muslim yang

ditawan oleh orang-orang kafir.

6. Orang berhutang: orang yang berhutang karena untuk kepentingan

yang bukan ma'siat dan tidak sanggup membayarnya. Adapun orang

yang berhutang untuk memelihara persatuan umat Islam dibayar

hutangnya itu dengan zakat, walaupun ia mampu membayarnya.

7. Pada jalan Allah (sabilillah): yaitu untuk keperluan pertahanan

Islam dan kaum muslimin. Di antara mufasirin ada yang

berpendapat bahwa fisabilillah itu mencakup juga

kepentingan-kepentingan umum seperti mendirikan sekolah, rumah

sakit dan lain-lain.

8. Orang yang sedang dalam perjalanan yang bukan ma'siat mengalami

kesengsaraan dalam perjalanannya.

***9:71*** 

71. Dan orang-orang yang beriman, lelaki dan perempuan, sebahagian

mereka  (adalah) menjadi penolong bagi sebahagian yang lain.  Mereka

menyuruh (mengerjakan) yang ma'ruf, mencegah dari yang munkar, mendirikan

shalat, menunaikan zakat dan  mereka ta'at  pada  Allah dan

Rasul-Nya. Mereka itu akan diberi rahmat oleh Allah; sesungguhnya

Allah Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana.

***9:102*** 

102. Dan (ada pula) orang-orang lain yang mengakui dosa-dosa mereka,

mereka mencampurbaurkan pekerjaan yang baik dengan pekerjaan lain

yang buruk.

Mudah-mudahan Allah menerima taubat mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah

Maha Pengampun lagi maha Penyayang.

Keharusan penguasa memungut zakat.

***9:103*** 

103. Ambillah zakat dari sebagian harta mereka, dengan zakat itu kamu

membersihkan [658] dan mensucikan [659] mereka  dan mendo'alah

untuk mereka. Sesungguhnya do'a kamu itu (menjadi) ketenteraman

jiwa bagi mereka. Dan Allah Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui.

[658] Maksudnya: zakat itu membersihkan mereka dari kekikiran dan

cinta yang berlebih-lebihan kepada harta benda

[659] Maksudnya: zakat itu menyuburkan sifat-sifat kebaikan dalam

hati mereka dan memperkembangkan harta benda mereka.

***9:104*** 

104. Tidaklah mereka mengetahui, bahwasanya Allah menerima taubat dari

hamba-hamba-Nya dan menerima zakat dan bahwasanya Allah Maha

Penerima taubat lagi Maha Penyayang?

***19:31*** 

31.  dan Dia menjadikan aku seorang yang diberkati di mana saja aku

berada, dan Dia memerintahkan kepadaku (mendirikan) shalat

dan (menunaikan) zakat selama aku hidup;

***19:55*** 

55.  Dan ia menyuruh ahlinya [906] untuk bersembahyang dan

menunaikan zakat, dan ia adalah seorang yang diridhai di sisi

Tuhannya.

[906].    Sebagian ahli tafsir berpendapat bahwa yang

dimaksud dengan "ahlinya" ialah umatnya.

***21:73*** 

73.  Kami telah menjadikan mereka itu sebagai pemimpin-pemimpin

yang memberi petunjuk dengan perintah Kami dan telah Kami

wahyukan kepada, mereka mengerjakan kebajikan, mendirikan

sembahyang, menunaikan zakat, dan hanya kepada Kamilah mereka

selalu menyembah,

***22:41*** 

41. (yaitu) orang-orang yang jika Kami teguhkan kedudukan mereka

di muka bumi niscaya mereka mendirikan sembahyang, menunaikan

zakat, menyuruh berbuat ma'ruf dan mencegah dari perbuatan

yang mungkar; dan kepada Allah-lah kembali segala urusan.

AYAT-AYAT ALLAH SEBAGAI PENAWAR HATI NABI MUHAMMAD S.A.W.

***22:78*** 

78. Dan berjihadlah kamu pada jalan Allah dengan jihad yang

sebenar-benarnya. Dia telah memilih kamu dan Dia sekali-kali

tidak menjadikan untuk kamu dalam agama suatu kesempitan.

(Ikutilah) agama orang tuamu Ibrahim. Dia (Allah) telah

menamai kamu sekalian orang-orang muslim dari dahulu [994],

dan (begitu pula) dalam (Al Qur'an) ini, supaya Rasul itu

menjadi saksi atas dirimu dan supaya kamu semua menjadi saksi

atas segenap manusia, maka dirikanlah sembahyang, tunaikanlah

zakat dan berpeganglah kamu pada tali Allah. Dia adalah

Pelindungmu, maka Dialah sebaik-baik Pelindung dan sebaik-

baik Penolong.

[994]. Maksudnya: dalam kitab-kitab yang telah diturunkan

kepada nabi-nabi sebelum Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

***23:4*** 

4.   dan orang-orang yang menunaikan zakat,

***24:33*** 

33. Dan orang-orang yang tidak mampu kawin hendaklah menjaga

kesucian (diri)nya, sehingga Allah memampukan mereka dengan

karunia-Nya. Dan budak-budak yang kamu miliki yang memginginkan

perjanjian, hendaklah kamu buat perjanjian dengan mereka [1037],

jika kamu mengetahui ada kebaikan pada mereka, dan berikanlah

kepada mereka sebahagian dari harta Allah yang dikaruniakan-Nya

kepadamu [1038]. Dan janganlah kamu paksa budak-budak wanitamu

untuk melakukan pelacuran, sedang mereka sendiri mengingini

kesucian, karena kamu hendak mencari keuntungan duniawi. Dan

barangsiapa yang memaksa mereka, maka sesungguhnya Allah adalah

Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang (kepada mereka) sesudah mereka

dipaksa itu [1039].

[1037] Salah satu cara dalam agama Islam untuk menghilangkan

perbudakan, yaitu seorang hamba boleh meminta pada tuannya untuk

dimerdekakan, dengan perjanjian bahwa budak itu akan membayar

jumlah uang yang ditentukan. Pemilik budak itu hendaklah menerima

perjanjian itu kalau budak itu menurut penglihatannya sanggup

melunasi perjanjian itu dengan harta yang halal.

[1038] Untuk mempercepat lunasnya perjanjian itu hendaklah budak-

budak itu ditolong dengan harta yang diambilkan dari zakat atau

harta lainnya.

[1039] Maksudnya: Tuhan akan mengampuni budak-budak wanita yang

dipaksa melakukan pelacuran oleh tuannya itu, selama mereka tidak

mengulangi perbuatannya itu lagi.

***24:37***

sembahyang, dan (dari) membayarkan zakat. Mereka takut kepada suatu

hari yang (di hari itu) hati dan penglihatan menjadi goncang.

***24:56*** 

56. Dan dirikanlah sembahyang, tunaikanlah zakat, dan ta'atlah

kepada rasul, supaya kamu diberi rahmat.

***27:3*** 

3.   (yaitu) orang-orang yang mendirikan sembahyang dan menunaikan

zakat dan mereka yakin akan adanya negeri akhirat.

***30:39*** 

39. Dan sesuatu riba (tambahan) yang kamu berikan agar dia bertambah

pada harta manusia, maka riba itu tidak menambah pada sisi Allah.

Dan apa yang kamu berikan berupa zakat yang kamu maksudkan untuk

mencapai keridhaan Allah, maka (yang berbuat demikian) itulah orang-

orang yang melipat gandakan (pahalanya).

***31:4*** 

4. (yaitu) orang-orang yang mendirikan shalat, menunaikan zakat dan  mereka

berhias dan bertingkah laku seperti orang-orang Jahiliyah yang

dahulu [1217] dan dirikanlah shalat, tunaikanlah zakat dan ta'atilah

Allah dan Rasul-Nya. Sesungguhnya Allah bermaksud hendak

menghilangkan dosa dari kamu, hai ahlul bait [1218] dan

membersihkan kamu sebersih-bersihnya.

[1216] Maksudnya: Isteri-isteri Rasul agar tetap di rumah dan ke

luar rumah bila ada keperluan yang dibenarkan oleh syara'. Perintah ini

juga meliputi segenap mu'minat.

[1217] Yang dimaksud "Jahiliyah yang dahulu" ialah Jahiliah

kekafiran yang terdapat  sebelum Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Dan yang

dimaksud "Jahiliyah sekarang" ialah Jahiliyah kemaksiatan, yang terjadi

sesudah datangnya Islam.

sedekah sebelum mengadakan pembicaraan dengan Rasul? Maka jika

kamu tiada memperbuatnya dan Allah telah memberi taubat kepadamu

maka dirikanlah shalat, tunaikanlah zakat, taatlah kepada Allah dan

Rasul-Nya; dan Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan.

18. serta mengumpulkan (harta benda) lalu menyimpannya [1512].

[1512] Maksudnya: orang yang menyimpan hartanya dan tidak mau

mengeluarkan zakat dan tidak pula menafkahkannya ke jalan yang benar.

# AJARAN ISLAM UNTUK MENGATASI SIFAT-SIFAT YANG JELEK PADA MANUSIA.

***73:20*** 

20. Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu mengetahui bahwasanya kamu berdiri

(sembahyang) kurang dari dua pertiga malam, atau seperdua malam atau

sepertiganya dan (demikian pula) segolongan dari orang-orang yang

bersama kamu. Dan Allah menetapkan ukuran malam dan siang. Allah

mengetahui bahwa kamu sekali-kali tidak dapat menentukan batas-batas

waktu-waktu itu, maka Dia memberi keringanan kepadamu, karena itu

bacalah apa yang mudah (bagimu) dari Al Qur'an. Dia mengetahui bahwa

akan ada di antara kamu orang-orang yang sakit dan orang-orang yang

berjalan di muka bumi mencari sebagian karunia Allah; dan orang-orang

yang lain lagi berperang di jalan Allah, maka bacalah apa yang mudah

(bagimu) dari Al Qur'an dan dirikanlah sembahyang, tunaikanlah zakat

dan berikanlah pinjaman kepada Allah pinjaman yang baik. Dan kebaikan

apa saja yang kamu perbuat untuk dirimu niscaya kamu memperoleh

Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.

Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat)

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 484:

Narrated Jarir bin 'Abdullah ,

I gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet for offering prayer perfectly giving Zakat and giving good advice to every Muslim.

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 485:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "(On the Day of Resurrection) camels will come to their owner in the best state of health they have ever had (in the world), and if he had not paid their Zakat (in the world) then they would tread him with their feet; and similarly, sheep will come to their owner in the best state of health they have ever had in the world, and if he had not paid their Zakat, then they would tread him with their hooves and would butt him with their horns." The Prophet added, "One of their rights is that they should be milked while water is kept in front of them." The Prophet added, "I do not want anyone of you to come to me on the Day of Resurrection, carrying over his neck a sheep that will be bleating. Such a person will (then) say, 'O Muhammad! (please intercede for me,) I will say to him. 'I can't help you, for I conveyed Allah's Message to you.' Similarly, I do not want anyone of you to come to me carrying over his neck a camel that will be grunting. Such a person (then) will say "O Muhammad! (please intercede for me)." I will say to him, "I can't help you for I conveyed Allah's message to you."

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 486:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth, then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two black spots over the eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and say, 'I am your wealth, I am your treasure.' " Then the Prophet recited the holy verses:-- 'Let not those who withhold . . .' (to the end of the verse). (3.180).

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 487:

Narrated Abu Said:

Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "No Zakat is due on property mounting to less than five Uqiyas (of silver), and no Zakat is due on less than five camels, and there is no Zakat on less than five Wasqs." (A Wasqs equals 60 Sa's) & (1 Sa=3 K gms App.)

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 488:

Narrated Zaid bin Wahab:

I passed by a place called Ar-Rabadha and by chance I met Abu Dhar and asked him, "What has brought you to this place?" He said, "I was in Sham and differed with Muawiya on the meaning of (the following verses of the Quran): 'They who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not in the way of Allah.' (9.34). Muawiya said, 'This verse is revealed regarding the people of the scriptures." I said, It was revealed regarding us and also the people of the scriptures." So we had a quarrel and Mu'awiya sent a complaint against me to 'Uthman. 'Uthman wrote to me to come to Medina, and I came to Medina. Many people came to me as if they had not seen me before. So I told this to 'Uthman who said to me, "You may depart and live nearby if you wish." That was the reason for my being here for even if an Ethiopian had been nominated as my ruler, I would have obeyed him .

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 489:

Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais:

While I was sitting with some people from Quraish, a man with very rough hair, clothes, and appearance came and stood in front of us, greeted us and said, "Inform those who hoard wealth, that a stone will be heated in the Hell-fire and will be put on the nipples of their breasts till it comes out from the bones of their shoulders and then put on the bones of their shoulders till it comes through the nipples of their breasts the stone will be moving and hitting." After saying that, the person retreated and sat by the side of the pillar, I followed him and sat beside him, and I did not know who he was. I said to him, "I think the people disliked what you had said." He said, "These people do not understand anything, although my friend told me." I asked, "Who is your friend?" He said, "The Prophet said (to me), 'O Abu Dhar! Do you see the mountain of Uhud?' And on that I (Abu Dhar) started looking towards the sun to judge how much remained of the day as I thought that Allah's Apostle wanted to send me to do something for him and I said, 'Yes!' He said, 'I do not love to have gold equal to the mountain of Uhud unless I spend it all (in Allah's cause) except three Dinars (pounds). These people do not understand and collect worldly wealth. No, by Allah, Neither I ask them for worldly benefits nor am I in need of their religious advice till I meet Allah, The Honorable, The Majestic." '

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 490:

Narrated Ibn Masud:

I heard the Prophet saying, "There is no envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others."

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 491:

Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said, "If one give in charity what equals one date-fruit fro the honestly-earned money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money --Allah takes it in His right (hand) ar then enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his baby horse, so much s that it becomes as big as a mountain

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 492:

Narrated Haritha bin Wahab :

I heard the Prophet saying, "O people! Give in charity as a time will come upon you when a person will wander about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it, and one (who will be requested to take it) will say, "If you had brought it yesterday, would have taken it, but to-day I am not in need of it."

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 493:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till your wealth increases so much so that one will be worried, for no one will accept his Zakat and the person to whom he will give it will reply, 'I am not in need of it.' "

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 494:

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:

While I was sitting with Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) two person came to him; one of them complained about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allah's Apostle said, "As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Mecca (from Medina) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept it And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be neither a curtain nor an interpreter between him and Allah, and Allah will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth?' He will reply in the affirmative. Allah will further ask, 'Didn't I send a messenger to you?' And again that person will reply in the affirmative Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hell-fire, and then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire. And so, any (each one) of you should save himself from the fire even by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a half date-fruit, then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your brethren). (See Hadith No. 793 Vol. 4).

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 495:

Narrated Abu Musa:

Thy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "A time will come upon the people when a person will wander about with gold as Zakat and will not find anybody to accept it, and one man will be seen followed by forty women to be their guardian because of scarcity of men and great number of women. "

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 496:

Narrated Abu Masud:

When the verses of charity were revealed, we used to work as porters. A man came and distributed objects of charity in abundance. And they (the people) said, "He is showing off." And another man came and gave a sa (a small measure of food grains); they said, "Allah is not in need of this small amount of charity." And then the Divine Inspiration came: "Those who criticize such of the believers who give in charity voluntarily and those who could not find to give in charity except what is available to them." (9.79).

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 497:

Narrated Abu Masud Al-Ansar:

Whenever Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) ordered us to give in charity, we used to go to the market and work as porters and get a Mudd (a special measure of grain) and then give it in charity. (Those were the days of poverty) and to-day some of us have one hundred thousand.

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 498:

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim heard the Prophet saying:

"Save yourself from Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity."

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 499:

Narrated Aisha:

A lady along with her two daughters came to me asking (for some alms), but she found nothing with me except one date which I gave to her and she divided it between her two daughters, and did not eat anything herself, and then she got up and went away. Then the Prophet came in and I informed him about this story. He said, "Whoever is put to trial by these daughters and he treats them generously (with benevolence) then these daughters will act as a shield for him from Hell-Fire." (See Hadith No. 24, Vol. 8).

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 500:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Which charity is the most superior in reward?" He replied, "The charity which you practice while you are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wish to become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching death and then say, 'Give so much to such and such, and so much to such and such.' And it has already belonged to such and such (as it is too late)."

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 501:

Narrated 'Aisha:

Some of the wives of the Prophet asked him, "Who amongst us will be the first to follow you (i.e. die after you)?" He said, "Whoever has the longest hand." So they started measuring their hands with a stick and Sauda's hand turned out to be the longest. (When Zainab bint Jahsh died first of all in the caliphate of 'Umar), we came to know that the long hand was a symbol of practicing charity, so she was the first to follow the Prophet and she used to love to practice charity. (Sauda died later in the caliphate of Muawiya).

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 502:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "A man said that he would give something in charity. He went out with his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next morning the people said that he had given his object of charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. I will give alms again." And so he again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his alms to an adulteress last night. The man said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I will give alms again." So he went out with his alms again and (unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people) next morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person. He said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I had given alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man." Then someone came and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and that given to the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual intercourse (adultery), and that given to the wealthy man might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth which Allah has given him, in Allah's cause."

He said, 'Then, if it is broken, it will never be closed again?' I replied, 'Yes.' " Then we were afraid to ask what that door was, so we asked Masruq to inquire, and he asked Hudhaifa regarding it.

Anas added, "When these verses were revealed:--'By no means shall you Attain righteousness unless You spend (in charity) of that Which you love. ' (3.92) Abu Talha said to Allah's Apostle 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah, the Blessed, the Superior says: By no means shall you attain righteousness, unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love. And no doubt, Bairuha' garden is the most beloved of all my property to me. So I want to give it in charity in Allah's Cause. I expect its reward from Allah. O Allah's Apostle! Spend it where Allah makes you think it feasible.' On that Allah's Apostle said, 'Bravo! It is useful property. I have heard what you have said (O Abu Talha), and I think it would be proper if you gave it to your Kith and kin.' Abu Talha said, I will do so, O Allah's Apostle.' Then Abu Talha distributed that garden amongst his relatives and his cousins."

Give alms." Then he went towards the women and said. "O women! Give alms, for I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-Fire were you (women)." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the reason for it?" He replied, "O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. O women, some of you can lead a cautious wise man astray." Then he left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Ibn Masud, came and asked permission to enter It was said, "O Allah's Apostle! It is Zainab." He asked, 'Which Zainab?" The reply was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ub. He said, "Yes, allow her to enter." And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of Allah! Today you ordered people to give alms and I had an ornament and intended to give it as alms, but Ibn Masud said that he and his children deserved it more than anybody else." The Prophet replied, "Ibn Masud had spoken the truth. Your husband and your children had more right to it than anybody else."

Then he said, "The things I am afraid of most for your sake (concerning what will befall you after me) is the pleasures and splendors of the world and its beauties which will be disclosed to you." Somebody said, "O Allah's Apostle! Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet remained silent for a while. It was said to that person, "What is wrong with you? You are talking to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) while he is not talking to you." Then we noticed that he was being inspired divinely. Then the Prophet wiped off his sweat and said, "Where is the questioner?" It seemed as if the Prophet liked his question. Then he said, "Good never brings forth evil. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a water-stream which either kill or make the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill the Khadira (a kind of vegetable) and then faces the sun, and then defecates and urinates and grazes again. No doubt this wealth is sweet and green. Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to the poor, the orphans and to needy travelers. (Or the Prophet said something similar to it) No doubt, whoever takes it illegally will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."

So she said to 'Abdullah, "Will you ask Allah's Apostle whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakat on you and the orphans who are under my protection?" He replied "Will you yourself ask Allah's Apostle ?" (Zainab added): So I went to the Prophet and I saw there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet ) with a similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet whether it is permissible for me to spend (the Zakat) on my husband and the orphans under my protection.' And we requested Bilal not to inform the Prophet about us. So Bilal went inside and asked the Prophet regarding our problem. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked, "Who are those two?" Bilal replied that she was Zainab. The Prophet said, "Which Zainab?" Bilal said, "The wife of 'Adullah (bin Masud)." The Prophet said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double rewards (for that): One for helping relatives, and the other for giving Zakat."

Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) ordered (a person) to collect Zakat, and that person returned and told him that Ibn Jamil, Khalid bin Al-Walid, and Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib had refused to give Zakat." The Prophet said, "What made Ibn Jamll refuse to give Zakat though he was a poor man, and was made wealthy by Allah and His Apostle ? But you are unfair in asking Zakat from Khalid as he is keeping his armor for Allah's Cause (for Jihad). As for Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib, he is the uncle of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) and Zakat is compulsory on him and he should pay it double."

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 548:

(Remember) Whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented, and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience."

This property is like a sweet fresh fruit; whoever takes it without greediness, he is blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it, and he is like a person who eats but is never satisfied; and the upper (giving) hand is better than the lower (receiving) hand." Hakim added, "I said to Allah's Apostle , 'By Him (Allah) Who sent you with the Truth, I shall never accept anything from anybody after you, till I leave this world.' " Then Abu Bakr (during his caliphate) called Hakim to give him his share from the war booty (like the other companions of the Prophet ), he refused to accept anything. Then 'Umar (during his caliphate) called him to give him his share but he refused. On that 'Umar said, "O Muslims! I would like you to witness that I offered Hakim his share from this booty and he refused to take it." So Hakim never took anything from anybody after the Prophet till he died.

The sub-narrator added "Muhammad will intercede with Allah to judge amongst the people. He will proceed on till he will hold the ring of the door (of Paradise) and then Allah will exalt him to Maqam Mahmud (the privilege of intercession, etc.). And all the people of the gathering will send their praises to Allah.

I remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer. " The Prophet said, "Or merely a Muslim." I remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's Apostle!

The Prophet asked his companions to estimate the amount of the fruits in the garden, and Allah's Apostle estimated it at ten Awsuq (One Wasaq = 60 Sa's) and 1 Sa'= 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet said to that lady, "Check what your garden will yield." When we reached Tabuk, the Prophet said, "There will be a strong wind to-night and so no one should stand and whoever has a camel, should fasten it." So we fastened our camels. A strong wind blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to a mountain called Taiy, The King of Aila sent a white mule and a sheet for wearing to the Prophet as a present, and wrote to the Prophet that his people would stay in their place (and will pay Jizya taxation.) (1) When the Prophet reached Wadi-al-Qura he asked that woman how much her garden had yielded. She said, "Ten Awsuq," and that was what Allah's Apostle had estimated.

He said, "The family of Bani-n-Najjar, and then the family of Bani Sa'ida or Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. (The above-mentioned are the best) but there is goodness in all the families of Ansar."
