2539. It was narrated from Abû Mûsâ that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Every Muslim must give charity.” It was said: “What if he cannot find (anything to give)?” He said: “Let him work with his hands and benefit himself and give in charity.” It was said: “What if he cannot do that?” He said: “Let him help someone who is in desperate need.” It was said: “What if he cannot do that?” He said: “Let him enjoin good.” It was said: “What if he cannot do that?” He said: “Let him refrain from doing evil, for that is an act of charity.” (Sahîh)

Commentary
‘Sadaqah’ signifies an act of goodness or good work, which is worthy of reward or recompense (Thawâb), because the objective of financial offering is also to earn recompense. Therefore, every Muslim should continue to do some good deed, in accordance with his position.
