MODES OF CHARITABLE GOOD DEEDS

123

“On every day in which the sun rises, charity is due from each limb of a person. Doing justice between two people is charity. To help a person ride his mount or to place his baggage on it is charity. A good word is charity. Every step taken on the way to prayer is charity, removing something from the path that is harmful is charity. Everyone is created with three hundred and sixty joints. Whosoever bears witness to the Greatness of Allah, praises Allah, bears witness to His Oneness, exalts His Holiness, asks His Forgiveness, removes a stone, thorn or bone from a path frequented by people, encourages good, or forbids evil in the number of three-hundred and sixty, has rescued himself from the Fire."

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this. Muslim also reported that Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, informs us that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
