CHARITY SMALL OR LARGE
|H 111
“When the verse enjoining charity was revealed we (the
Companions) would carry loads on our backs so that we were able
to earn something that we could give away in charity. One of us
gave a substantial amount to charity but the hypocrites said that he
had only done it to show off. When another gave a few pounds of
dates and they said: "Allah is not in need of his dates." Thereupon it
was revealed:
'As for those who taunt the believers who give charity voluntarily
and scoff at those who give according to their means,
Allah will scoff at them.
Theirs shall be a painful punishment.' “9:79 Koran
