Generosity in Times of Need

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ gave seven dates to seven people who were suffering from hunger.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبَّاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عُثْمَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُمْ أَصَابَهُمْ جُوعٌ وَهُمْ سَبْعَةٌ قَالَ فَأَعْطَانِي النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ تَمْرَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the generosity of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that there were seven people who suffered from hunger and the Prophet gave each one of them a date. This shows us how generous and kind he was, even when he himself did not have much. He showed us that it is important to help those in need, no matter how little we have. Even if we can only give a small amount, it can still make a difference in someone's life. We should also remember that Allah will reward us for our good deeds, so we should always strive to do what is right and help others whenever possible.
