أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا تَصَدَّقَ أَحَدٌ بِصَدَقَةٍ مِنْ طَيِّبٍ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبَ إِلَّا أَخَذَهَا الرَّحْمَنُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِيَمِينِهِ وَإِنْ کَانَتْ تَمْرَةً فَتَرْبُو فِي کَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ حَتَّی تَکُونَ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ الْجَبَلِ کَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُکُمْ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2531
Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘None gives charity from (wealth earned from) a good source — and Allah does not accept anything but that which is good — but the Most Merciful takes it in His right hand, even if it is a date, and it is tended in the hand of the Most Merciful until it becomes greater than a mountain, just as one of you tends his foal or camel calf.” (Sahih)
