Sadaqah Hadith
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا أُطْعِمَ الْفَقِيرُ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ اللَّهُ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ " .
Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If a poor man is fed, then Allah grants reward for it to the one who fed him, and the reward of Sadaqah (charity) is due on it."
