- Abu Hurayra (may Allah be well pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “A person who strives to take care of the needs of the widow and the poor man is like one who struggles in the way of God, or like one who stands during the night (to pray) and fasts during the day.”

- According to Jabir b. Abd Allah (may Allah be well pleased with him): “The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: ‘Every act of righteousness is a charitable donation. Your meeting your brother with a smiling face and pouring from your pail into your brother’s pail is also piousness.’”
