حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُلُّ سُلَامَى مِنَ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَطْلُعُ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ، يَعْدِلُ بَيْنَ الاِثْنَيْنِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَيُعِينُ الرَّجُلَ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ، فَيَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا، أَوْ يَرْفَعُ عَلَيْهَا مَتَاعَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلُّ خَطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَيُمِيطُ الأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “There is a (compulsory) Sadaqa (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allah) everyday the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as Sadaqa, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as Sadaqa, and (saying) a good word is also Sadaqa, and every step taken on one’s way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also Sadaqa and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Sadaqa.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন যে, মানুষের প্রত্যেক জোড়ার প্রতি সদাকাহ রয়েছে, প্রতি দিন যাতে সূর্য উদিত হয় দু’জন লোকের মধ্যে সুবিচার করাও সদাকাহ, কাউকে সাহায্য করে সাওয়ারীতে আরোহণ করিয়ে দেয়া বা তার উপরে তার মালপত্র তুলে দেয়াও সদাকাহ, ভাল কথাও সদাকাহ, সালাত আদায়ের উদ্দেশে পথ চলায় প্রতিটি কদমেও সদাকাহ, রাস্তা থেকে কষ্টদায়ক বস্তু অপসারণ করাও সদাকাহ। (২৭০৭) (মুসলিম ১২/১৭ হাঃ ১০০৯, আহমাদ ৮১৮৯)

ہم سے اسحاق بن منصور نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو عبدالرزاق نے خبر دی، کہا ہم کو معمر نے خبر دی، انہیں ہمام نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”انسان کے ہر ایک جوڑ پر صدقہ لازم ہوتا ہے۔ ہر دن جس میں سورج طلوع ہوتا ہے۔

پھر اگر وہ انسانوں کے درمیان انصاف کرے تو یہ بھی ایک صدقہ ہے اور کسی کو سواری کے معاملے میں اگر مدد پہنچائے، اس طرح پر کہ اسے اس پر سوار کرائے یا اس کا سامان اٹھا کر رکھ دے تو یہ بھی ایک صدقہ ہے اور اچھی بات منہ سے نکالنا بھی ایک صدقہ ہے اور ہر قدم جو نماز کے لیے اٹھتا ہے وہ بھی صدقہ ہے اور اگر کوئی راستے سے کسی تکلیف دینے والی چیز کو ہٹا دے تو وہ بھی ایک صدقہ ہے۔“

Telah bercerita kepadaku [Ishaq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami ['Abdur Rozzaq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ma'mar] dari [Hammam] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Setiap ruas tulang pada manusia wajib atasnya shadaqah dan setiap hari terbitnya matahari seseorang yang mendamaikan antara dua orang yang bertikai adalah shadaqah dan menolong seseorang untuk menaiki hewan tunggangannya lalu mengangkat barang-barangnya ke atas hewan tungganyannya adalah shadaqah dan ucapan yang baik adalah shadaqah dan setiap langkah yang dijalankan munuju shalat adalah shadaqah dan menyingkirkan sesuatu yang bisa menyakiti atau menghalngi orang dari jalan adalah shadaqah

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'in naklettiğine göre Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Bir kimsenin parmaklarındaki boğumların her birinin, üzerine güneşin doğduğu her gün için sadakası vardır. İki kişinin arasını bulup aralarında adaletle karar vermek bir sadakadır. Bir kimsenin hayvanına binmesine veya eşyalarını yüklemesine yardımcı olmak sadakadır. Güzel söz sadakadır, namaz kılmak üzere giderken atılan her adım sadakadır ve yol üzerindeki bir engeli kaldırmak sadakadır

Sahih al-Bukhari 2989, Book 56, Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad), Hadith 198. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that every religiously accountable Muslim should give every day a voluntary charity on behalf of every single one of his bone joints as a form of expressing gratitude to Allah Almighty for well-being and for creating his bones with joints that allow him to grasp and stretch.

This charity can be fulfilled not through giving money alone but through all types of righteous acts, which include: Acting justly and reconciling between those in disagreement counts as a charity. Helping someone disabled with his mount by helping him ride on it or lifting his luggage on it counts as a charity. The good word, whether it is Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), supplication, greeting of peace, or otherwise counts as a charity.

Every step you take to the prayer counts as a charity. Removing what is harmful from the way counts as a charity.

What it teaches

  • The structure of the bones of human beings and their soundness are among the greatest blessings of Allah Almighty upon them. Hence, each bone needs charity to be given on its behalf to show due gratitude for such a blessing.
  • Encouraging the act of renewing gratitude daily to maintain such blessings.
  • Encouraging the constant observance of voluntary acts of worship and charity on a daily basis.
  • The merit of reconciling between people.
  • Encouraging a Muslim to help his fellow Muslim as this counts as a charity.
  • Encouraging the attendance of the congregational prayers and walking thereto and maintaining mosques.
  • It is obligatory to respect the Muslims' roads by avoiding what hurts or harms them.
