Assalam alaikum,
Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, May Allah be pleased with him, recounts that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, once said, ''There is a Sadaqah due on every Muslim: If he cannot give because he has no money, let him work. Then he can support himself and give charity. If he is unable to work, then let him help someone in need of his help. If he cannot do this, then let him enjoin good. If he cannot do that, then he should do no evil nor harm others. (Even) this shall be written for him as Sadaqah''. (Ahmad)
Related to this, a careful perusal of Kitab al-Aadab and Husn al-Khuluq in Hadith Literature shows us that there are many kinds of Sadaqah we can give, which carry lots of rewards that money cannot buy, such as:--
1. Simple smile:--Giving that friendly smiling face to your
brother(s) in Islam attracts reward from
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
2. Sincere Advise:--This could be anything from helping
someone secure employment to
providing them with ways of becoming
more displined/organized in daily life.
3. Feeding the homeless/poor.
4. Visiting the Sick.
5. Praying For Others:--Whereby the Prophet, Sallallahu
alaihi Wasallam, said, ''The quickest
prayer to be answered is one's
supplication for his brother in his
absence''.(Bukhari)...thus keeping
others in our sincere Du'a requires
selflessness--the very kernel of
brotherhood.
