Concerning Generosity and Miserliness

Anas ibnu Malik radhiallahu anhu narrates that in his first sermon that Rasulullah SAW delivered, he praised Allah and then said " O people! Verily Allah has chosen Islam to be your religion, so enhance your relationship with Islam with generosity and good character.

Take note that generosity is a tree in Jannah that has its branches in this world. Therefore, whoever is generous continues attaching himself to one of its branches until it eventually transports him to Jannah.

Behold! Miserliness is a tree of Jahannam that also has its branches in this world.  Therefore, Whoever is miserly attaches himself to one of  its branches until it eventually plummets him into Jahannam.

So be generous for the Path of Allah.  Be generous for the Path of Allah.

Note:
Rasulullah SAW always repeated himself three times whenever he talked on things that were important.

Apa yang terkandung dalam hadist ini adalah begitu sesuai dalam keadaan zaman sekarang ini. Terima kasih Dato kerana mengingatkan supaya kita bersedekah dijalan Allah.
