'I have given Sadaqa to a Thief an Adulteress & a Rich Man.' {Bukhari}




 

'Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah'  

 

'As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu' 

 
It is related from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah [may Allah bless him and grant him peace] said:-
 
 "A man said, 'I must give some sadaqa,' and went out with his sadaqa, putting it in the hand of a thief. The next day people said he had given sadaqa to a thief.
 
He said, 'O Allah, praise is Yours. I will again give sadaqa.' He went out with his sadaqa and this time put it in the hand of an adulteress.
 
The next day people said that he had given sadaqa in the night to an adulteress. He said, 'O Allah, praise is Yours. I gave it to an adulteress.
 I will give more sadaqa.'
He went out with his sadaqa and put it in the hand of a rich man.
 
The next day people said he had given sadaqa to a rich man.
 
 
He said:-
'O Allah, praise is Yours.
 I have given sadaqa to a thief, an adulteress, and a rich man.'
 
Then someone came and said to him, 'Your sadaqa to a thief might make him abstain from stealing.
What you gave to the adulteress might make her abstain from her fornication.
And what you gave to the rich man might make him reflect so that he will spend out from what Allah has given him.'
