English translation

6022. Narrated Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī: The Prophet ﷺ said, "On every Muslim there is enjoined (a compulsory) Ṣadaqa (alms)." They (the people) asked, "If one has nothing?" He ﷺ said, "He should work with his hands so that he may benefit himself and give it in charity." They said, "If he cannot work, or does not work?" He said, "Then he should help the oppressed unhappy person (by word or action or both)." They said, "If he does not do it?" He said, "Then he should enjoin what is good," or said "what is Al-Ma'rūf (i.e., Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām has ordained)". They said, "If he does not do that?" He said, "Then he should refrain from Ash-Shar (doing evil — e.g., practising polytheism of different kinds and all that is evil and bad), for that will be considered for him as a Ṣadaqa (charity)."

6022 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَدَقَةٌ» قَالُوا: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيَعْمَلُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَيَنْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ» قَالُوا: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَوْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيُعِينُ ذَا الحَاجَةِ المَلْهُوفَ» قَالُوا: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيَأْمُرُ بِالخَيْرِ» أَوْ قَالَ: «بِالْمَعْرُوفِ» قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ: «فَيُمْسِكُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ»
