2029. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Charity does not diminish wealth, Allāh does not increase a man in anything for his pardoning (others) but in honor, and none humbles himself for Allāh but Allāh raises him." (Ṣaḥīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf, Ibn 'Abbās, and Abū Kabshah Al-Anmārī whose name is 'Umar bin Sa'd. This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh.
٢٠٢٩ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ،» وَمَا زَادَ اللهُ رَجُلًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا، وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَبِي كَبْشَةَ الْأَنَّمَارِيِّ، وَاسْمُهُ: عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Allāh blesses acts of almsgiving and charity and makes them the cause of increases in wealth rather than decrease in it. Similarly, the act of forgiving and pardoning a wrongdoer from a position of strength is the cause of increase in a man's honor and prestige.
