Sunan an-Nasai 2493 (Book 23, Hadith 59) #17104
Giving Charity with Good Intentions

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that it is important to give charity with good intentions and quality items, as one will be rewarded for their deeds on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated that 'Awf bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah came out with a stick in his hand, and a man had hung up a bunch of dry and bad dates. He started hitting that bunch of dates and said: 'I wish that the one who gave this Sadaqah had given something better than this, for the one who gave these dry, bad dates will eat dry, bad dates on the Day of Resurrection"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرِيبٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَبِيَدِهِ عَصًا وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ قِنْوَ حَشَفٍ فَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْقِنْوِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْ هَذَا إِنَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ يَأْكُلُ حَشَفًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give charity with good intentions and quality items

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Awf bin Malik teaches us about the importance of giving charity with good intentions and quality items. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was displeased when he saw a man had hung up a bunch of dry and bad dates as sadaqah, so he hit them with his stick. He wished that the person who gave this sadaqah had given something better than this, because they will receive what they have given in return on the Day of Resurrection. This means that if someone gives something bad or low-quality as sadaqah, then they will receive something similar in return from Allah on the Day of Judgement. Therefore, it is important to give charity with good intentions and quality items so we can be rewarded for our deeds in the hereafter.
