The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever gives charity equal to a date from pure (halal) earnings – for Allaah does not accept anything but that which is pure – Allaah will take it in His right hand and tend it for the one who gave it, as any one of you tends his foal, until it becomes like a mountain.”
“Whoever gives charity equal to a date from pure (halal) earnings – for Allaah does not accept anything but that which is pure – Allaah will take it in His right hand and tend it for the one who gave it, as any one of you tends his foal, until it becomes like a mountain.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim)
Commentary: Here, an Attribute of Allah, His Hand, has been mentioned. We are supposed to believe in it without interpretation or comparison; that is to say that Allah has Hands as befit His Glory. We cannot compare his essential attributes to anything, nor can we describe them.
It is evident from this Hadith that Allah increases the reward of charity which is given from lawfully-earned money until it becomes like a mountain in greatness.
