Sunnats and Aadaab of Rendering Service to People – Part 10

1. By helping and assisting the needy, one will receive great reward, and by helping and assisting one’s needy family and relatives, one will receive double the reward of assisting the needy.

عن سلمان بن عامر، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إن الصدقة على المسكين صدقة، وعلى ذي الرحم اثنتان صدقة وصلة (سنن النسائي، الرقم: 2582)

Hazrat Salmaan bin Aamir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Sadaqah given to a poor person earns one the reward of one sadaqah, and sadaqah given to a relative earns one double reward; the reward of sadaqah and joining ties.”
