10. Hastening To Do Virtuous Acts

[ummtaalib]

Allah, The Most Exalted says:

 

"So hasten towards all that is good".

(Qur’aan- 2:148)

 

 

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: There came a man to the Prophet (peace be upon Him) and said,

 

"O Messenger of Allah, which charity is the most rewardable?" He (pbuh) said, "That you should give charity (in a state when you are) healthy and stingy and fear poverty, hoping to become rich (charity in such a state of health and mind is the best). And you must not defer (charity to such a length) that you are about to die and would be saying: 'This is for so-and-so, and this for so-and-so.' Lo! It has already come into (the possession of) so-and-so".

(Hadith: Bukhari and Muslim)
