Charity (Sadqa)

Introduction:

Sadaqa (charity) is highly recommended for shielding oneself from calamities, epidemics, disasters, and losses. Giving charity in the morning protects one from the misfortunes of the day and giving charity in the evening protects one from calamities of the night.ย  Fulfilling requests of others, i.e., giving way on a road, doing favours to others is also considered to be a kind of charity. We have been instructed by the Masomeen-asws to give away charity prior to being inflicted by a misfortune. Few Verses from the Holy Quran and selected ahadith of Masomeen-asws are presented related to the topic. All Ahadith are taken from Wasail ul Shia.[1]

Know they not that Allah accept repentance from His servants and receives their gifts of charity, and that Allah is verily He, the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful ย ย ย [9:104]

Imam Hassan Askari-asws said:ย  And give Zakat to the deserving but donโ€™t give it the Kufar and Nasabis.ย  Rasool-Allah-saww said: Giving Sadaqa to Ourโ€“asws enemies is like stealing from house of Allah-azwj.[2]

The Holy Imam Ali Al Ridha-asws said: โ€˜Once upon a time there came a drought upon the Israelites, which lasted for some years. Among them there was a woman who only had one morsel of food which she decided to eat due to hunger. A beggar came up and said to her, โ€˜O slave of God, I am starving!โ€™ The woman replied, โ€˜Is charity to be given even in this situation?โ€™ She then took the morsel of food out of her mouth and gave it to him. She had a young son who had gone into the jungle to fetch some wood. A wild animal attacked the boy and started taking him away. When the mother heard the boy screaming she started running after the wild animal. Allah-azwj then ordered the angel Jibraeelโ€“as to descend upon the animal and rescue the young boy. Jibraeelโ€“as then said to the woman: โ€˜O slave of God, are you happy with this? A nibble for a nibble!โ€™

When they came to know that there were some highway robbers in the area, they were overcome with trepidation and so they came to the Holy Imam-asws for advice. The Holy Imam-asws said: โ€˜Leave this wealth in the protection of One Who will take care of it and protect it from the world and what is in it in such a way that He-azwj will return it back to you manifold in a time when you are desperately in need of itโ€™. The asked: โ€˜And who is that?โ€™ He-asws said: โ€˜He-azwj is the Nourisher of the worldsโ€™. They asked: โ€˜And how do we entrust it to Him-azwj?โ€™ He-asws answered: โ€˜Give charity to the poor and helpless Muslimsโ€™. They inquired: โ€˜And where do we find helpless and poor Muslims over here?โ€™ He-asws said: โ€˜Make your intention that were you to come across poor and helpless Muslims you will give away a third of your wealth in charity to them so that Allah-azwj may protect you from the looting of the highway robbers whom you fearโ€™. They all said: โ€˜And so we hereby make this intentionโ€™. The Holy Imam-asws said: โ€˜And so you are now in Godโ€™s safety!โ€™ Then they continued on their travel until such time that they came across the highway robbers and were overcome with fear. But, due to their following of the advice of the Holy Imam-asws they all arrived safely to their destination. They then kept their intended actions and gave away a third of their wealth in charity as a result of which they had such good profits from their businesses from its blessing that their money multiplied itself ten timesโ€™.

Then another one came along and He-asws gave him something as well. After the call for prayer one more beggar came along and He-asws gave him something too. Then a fourth one came along at which point Imam-asws said to the beggar: โ€˜May God give you extensively. If a person has thirty or forty thousand Dirham and wishes to give it, he can do so but the result of that would be that he would have nothing left. He would end up being one of three people whose supplication Allah-azwj does not accept. I asked the Holy Imam-asws as to which three people are these. He-asws replied: โ€˜One of them is he who gives away all that he has got and after the call to prayer supplicates to God to give him sustenance. He will be told, โ€˜Did we not open the door of sustenance for you?โ€™

O Jameel! Inform your reliable friends about this.โ€™ Jameel said: โ€˜May I be your ransom! Who are my reliable friends?โ€™ Imam-asws replied: โ€˜They are those who do good to their believing brothers despite their straitened circumstances.โ€™

Sheykh Hassan the son of Sheykh Toosi relates in one Hadeeth that the Holy Imam Jaโ€™far Al Sadiq-asws said to Moโ€™ala bin Khanees: โ€˜O Moโ€™ala! Align yourself to (love) Allah-azwj and He-azwj will align Himself with (love) you.โ€™ Moโ€™ala asked, โ€˜How shall I do that?โ€™ Imam-asws replied: โ€˜O Moโ€™ala! Be afraid of Allah-azwj and He-azwj will make everything scared of you. O Moโ€™ala! Do favours unto your brothers and become their beloved because Allah-azwj befriends those who do good and makes an enemy of those who return people empty handed. By God-azwj! If you were to ask me for something and I give it to you and then you become My-asws devotee then this is better for Me-asws than if you do not ask Me-asws for something and I do not grant it to you and you become inimical towards Me-asws. Remember! Whenever Allah-azwj Grants you a favour through Me-asws then in reality the one who is worthy of praise is Allah-azwj and so do not stay away from this thankfulness which Allah-azwj has routed it through My Hands-asws.โ€™
