The Stingy Husband (Hadith No. 1908)
Bismillah.
Hadith no. 1907 (below) is a repeat. Read it here.
Volume 3, Book 34, Number 412 :
Narrated by Anas bin Malik (radiallaahu `anhu)
Abu Taiba cupped Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) and so Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) ordered that a Sa of dates be paid to him and ordered his masters (for he was a slave) to reduce his tax.
Today’s Hadith:
Volume 3, Book 34, Number 413 :
Narrated by ‘Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa)
Hind, the mother of Mu’awiya said to Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam), “Abu Sufyan (her husband) is a miser. Am I allowed to take from his money secretly?” The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said to her, “You and your sons may take what is sufficient reasonably and fairly.”
It is not permissible for the wife to take anything from her husband’s wealth except with his permission, unless he is stingy with her in spending what he is obliged to spend. In that case it is permissible for her to take what is sufficient for her and her children, on a reasonable basis.
Angels Pray for Sadaqah-Doers (Hadith No. 1221)
Bismillah.
Hadith no. 1219 (below) and Hadith no. 1220 (further below) are repeats. Read the post here.
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 520:
Narrate Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, “If a woman gives in charity from her husband’s house ..” The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) also said, “If a lady gives meals (in charity) from her husband’s house without spoiling her husband’s property, she will get a reward and her husband will also get a reward likewise. The husband will get a reward because of his earnings and the woman because of her spending.”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 521:
Narrated ‘Aisha (radiallaahu `anhaa):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, “When a woman gives in charity from her house meals in Allah’s Cause without spoiling her husband’s property, she will get a reward for it, and her husband will also get the reward for his earnings and the storekeeper will get a reward likewise.”
Today’s Hadith:
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 522:
Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, “Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, ‘O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,’ and the other (angel) says, ‘O Allah! Destroy every miser.’ “
So if angels’ prayers get accepted, generous people who spend in Allah’s Cause remain in constant advantage, and miserly people always at loss (tsk tsk). And guess what? Angels’ prayers do get accepted.
