[2329] 53 - (1006) It was narrated from Abû Dharr that some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said to the Prophet ﷺ: "O Messenger of Allâh, the rich people have taken all the reward. They offer Salat as we offer Salat and they fast as we fast, but they give charity from their surplus wealth. He said: 'Has Allâh not given you something with which you may do acts of charity? Every Tasbîhah is a charity, every Takbîrah is a charity, every Tahmîdah is a charity, every Tahlîlah is a charity, enjoining what is good is a charity, forbidding what is evil is a charity, and (the intimacy of one of you with his wife) is a charity.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, if one of us fulfils his desire, will he be rewarded for that?' He said: 'Do you not see that if he did it in an unlawful manner, there would be a burden of sin on him for that? Similarly, if he does it in a lawful manner, he will be rewarded for it.'"
