Giving Out Charity Either Secretly or Publicly
Those who spend their wealth (in Allah’s cause) by night and day, in secret and in public, they shall have their reward with their Lord.
On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
(Qur’an 2, verse 274)
The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam said “seven people will be shaded by Allah under His Shade on the Day (i.e the Day of Resurrection) when there will be no shade except His”.
Among the seven is A person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given.
(see Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadith No.504)
The Prophet also said: “Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” – Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589
.
The Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam said “Charity given in secret extinguishes the wrath of the Lord,”
( classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3759).
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There is not a day upon which the servant awakens but that two angels descend. One of them says: O Allah, give repayment to one who spends in charity! The other says: O Allah, give destruction to one who withholds charity!”
