Al-Adab Al-Mufrad — Hadith #46785

Adam bin Abi Iyas narrated to us, he said: Shu’bah narrated to us, he said: Sa’id bin Abi Burdah bin Abi Musa narrated to me, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather. He said: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Every Muslim must pay charity. They said: What if he does not have the means? He said: Then he should work with his hands and benefit himself. And he gives in charity. They said: If he cannot, or does not do it? He said: So he helps the one in need who is in distress. They said: So if he does not do it? He said: So he enjoins good, or enjoins what is right. They said: So if he does not do it? He said: So he abstains from evil, for it is charity for him.
