1842. It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Yasâr that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'No one gives charity from good sources — for Allâh does not accept anything but that which is good — but the Most Merciful takes it in His Right Hand, even if it is a date, and it flourishes in the Hand of the Most Merciful until it becomes bigger than a mountain, and He tends it as anyone of you would tend to his colt (i.e., young pony) or his young (weaned) camel.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

1842 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا تَصَدَّقَ أَحَدٌ بِصَدَقَةٍ مِنْ طَيِّبٍ، وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبَ، إِلَّا أَخَذَهَا الرَّحْمَنُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ تَمْرَةً، فَتَرْبُو فِي كَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَعْظَمَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، وَيُرَبِّيهَا لَهُ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فُلُوَّهُ، أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ»

Commentary

Sincerity near Allâh is more important than the quantity. A little amount of charity given out of sincerity is also a source of immense reward.
