Sunan an-Nasai 2565 (Book 23, Hadith 131) #17176
Responding to Requests with Generosity

SUMMARY: Respond to the one who asks, even if it is with something small.

It was narrated from Abu Bujaid Al-Ansari from his grandmother that the Messenger of Allah said: "Respond to the one who asks even with a sheep's foot". According to the narration of Harun: "With a sheep's burned foot".
أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُجَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ رُدُّوا السَّائِلَ وَلَوْ بِظِلْفٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فِي حَدِيثِ هَارُونَ مُحْرَقٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of responding to requests with generosity, even if it is something small like a sheep’s foot. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his generosity and kindness towards others, so this hadith serves as an example of how we should act in our daily lives. We should always be willing to help those in need, no matter how small or insignificant our contribution may seem. Even a simple gesture can make a big difference in someone’s life! Additionally, this hadith also encourages us to be generous and kind towards others without expecting anything in return; when we give out of love and kindness rather than for personal gain or recognition, Allah will reward us greatly for it.
