THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARITY
Jubair ibn Mut'em (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
While I was travelling with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Hunain, the desert Arabs clung to him begging till they drove him to a thorny tree which scratched off his sheet. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to the desert Arabs: Give me my sheet. If I had sheeps equal to the number of the plants, I would have certainly distributed them amongst you and even after that you would not have found me a miser or a liar or a coward. (Al-Bukhari)
