Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl - Rewards

Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl - Rewards Chapter: Reward of giving Sadaqah during day 2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Ali b. al-Hussain al-Sa’dabadi from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Sa’dan b. Muslim from Mu’alla b. Khunays who said: “Whenever my father used to give Sadaqah, he used to take it back from the hands of the beggar, kiss that Sadaqah and smell it and then return it to him.

He used to do it so because Sadaqah goes into the hands of Allah before going into the hands of beggar. He used to say that I like to have in my hands too what Allah’s hands had held. Giving Sadaqah in darkness reduces the anger of Allah and wipes greater sins. It makes accounting of deeds easier. Sadaqah given during day causes abundance in wealth and life. Once Isa Ibne Maryam passed by a sea. He dropped his food in the sea. One of his companions asked, “O Ruhullah! Why did you do so?

It was your food, why did you drop it?” He replied, “I dropped it so that the marine creatures consume it. It carries a great reward in front of Allah.”
