A GOOD WORD IS CHARITY ..


The Sahih Hadith,

 "A good word is charity," 

(Arabic: وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ)

 highlights that acts of kindness in speech are spiritually equivalent to giving wealth. 

This teaching is documented in several authentic collections, most notably Sahih al-Bukhari 2989 and Sahih Muslim 1009. 


Core Teachings from the Hadith
Daily Obligation: 

The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that charity is due upon every joint of a person's body for every day the sun rises.


Non-Monetary Charity:

 For those who cannot afford financial alms, "a good word" serves as a way to fulfill this daily charitable obligation.


Protection from Hellfire: 

The Prophet (peace be upon him) advised: "Protect yourselves from the Fire, even if with half a date, and he who does not find it, then with a good word" 

(Sahih al-Bukhari 6540). 


Other Forms of Non-Financial Charity


According to this and related narrations in the 40 Hadith of Imam an-Nawawi, other simple daily acts of charity include:


Reconciliation:

 Administering justice or making peace between two people. 



WALLAHU A'LAM ..
