Giving Charity Increases One’s Wealth

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْجَهْمُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) تَصَدَّقُوا فَإِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ تَزِيدُ فِي الْمَالِ كَثْرَةً وَتَصَدَّقُوا رَحِمَكُمُ الله.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah, from al-Jahm ibn al-Hakam al-Mada’iniy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Give charity; charity increases wealth a great deal. Give charity, may Allah grant you favors.’”
