عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ، وَمَا زَادَ اللهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا، وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ».
Imepokewa kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Allah amridhie- kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Sadaka haikuwahi kupunguza chochote katika mali, na hakuna jambo zuri zaidi analomzidishia Mwenyezi Mungu mja kwa kusamehe zaidi kama kupewa utukufu, na hakuwahi kunyenyekea yeyote kwa ajili Mwenyezi Mungu isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu humnyanyua".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Charity does not diminish wealth, and Allah does not increase a servant, on account of his forgiveness, except in honor, and no one humbles himself seeking the pleasure of Allah except that Allah will elevate him."
