Sunan an-Nasai 2459 (Book 23, Hadith 25) #17070
Praying for Donors of Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed for the family of those who gave charity.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Abi Awfa said: "When people brought their Zakah to him, the Messenger of Allah would say: 'O Allah, send salah upon the family of so-and-so,' My father brought his Sadaqah to him and he said: 'O Allah, send Salah upon the family of Abu Awfa"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا أَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ بِصَدَقَتِهِمْ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ فُلاَنٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَتَاهُ أَبِي بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِي أَوْفَى

Show appreciation when someone does something kind or generous; Pray not only for yourself but also your loved ones; Give charity with sincerity and humility; Remember others in your prayers too.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Abdullah bin Abi Awfa speaks to the importance of gratitude and prayer. When people brought their Zakat to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he would pray for them and their families. This is an example of how we should show our appreciation when someone does something kind or generous for us. We should thank them and pray that Allah blesses them in return. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us that even small acts of kindness can be appreciated and rewarded by Allah if done with sincerity and humility.

The Prophet Muhammad's practice was to not only thank those who gave charity but also to pray for their families as well. This shows us how important it is to remember our loved ones in our prayers as well as ourselves; it is a reminder that we are all connected in some way or another and that we should look out for each other's wellbeing too.
