warding off different types of trials
-
1 I am warding off different types of trials by spending in charity.
Al-Harith Al-Ash'ari ( May Allah be pleased with him ) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ( May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) said:
"Indeed Allah commanded Yahya bin Zakariyya with five commandments to abide by, and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by them. But he was slow in doing so. So 'Eisa said: 'Indeed Allah commanded you with five commandments to abide by and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by.... And He commands you to give charity. The parable of that, is a man captured by his enemies, tying his hands to his neck, and they come to him to beat his neck. Then he said: "I can ransom myself from you with a little or a lot" so he ransoms himself from them..."
Jami` [ at-Tirmidhi ]
