Ma'rur said, "We passed by Abu Dharr and he was wearing a garment and his slave had a robe on. We said, 'Why do you not take this and give this man something else instead of the robe?' He replied that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Allah has put your brothers under your authority. If someone has his brother under his authority, he should feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears and not burden him with what will be too much for him. If he burdens him with what will be too much for him, he should help him.'"

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah , may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best sadaqah is that which leaves you free of want.

Your child asks, 'On whom can we rely?'"
