(18) Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan - it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.
(17) If you loan Allah a goodly loan, He will multiply it for you and forgive you. And Allah is Most Appreciative and Forbearing.
O womankind, give more charity and seek Allah's forgiveness more often, for I have seen you the most among people of Hell. A reasonable woman amongst them said: O Messenger of Allah, why is it that the majority of the people of Hell are women? He replied: You curse a lot, ungrateful to your husbands, and I have not seen anyone with deficiency of reason and religion that is more powerful than a man of reason more than you. She said: O Messenger of Allah, what is the deficiency of reason and religion? He said: As for the deficiency of reason, the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of a man. This is the deficiency of reason, and you spend the nights not praying, and not fasting in Ramadan, and this is a deficiency of religion.
Whoever gives charity from good earnings, for Allah only accepts what is good; it is as if he places it -the charity- in the palm of the Most Merciful, who would nurture it just as one of you nurtures his foal or calf, until it -the charity- becomes like a mountain.
Every person is in the shade of his charity -on the Day of Judgement - until Allah decides -narrator said: Or judges- between people.
The upper -giving- hand is better than the lower -taking- hand, and begin with those for whom you are responsible to provide.
Seven whom Allah will shade with his shade on the day when there is no shade but his: a just ruler; a youth who grew up worshipping Allah; a man whose heart is attached to the mosque from the time he leaves it until he returns to it; two men who love each other for the sake of Allah, meeting and parting for that reason; a man who remembers Allah in private and his eyes overflow with tears; a man who is invited by a woman of high status and beauty and he says: "I fear Allah"; and a man who gives charity and conceals it so that his left hand does not know what his right hand is spending.
Allah says: O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you did not feed Me. Son of Adam will say: O Lord, how did you ask me for food and I did not feed you, when you are the Lord of the worlds? Allah will say: Did you not know that my slave so-and-so asked you for food and you did not feed him? Did you not know that if You had fed him, you would have found that with me? O son of Adam, I asked you for [water] to drink and you did not give me [water] to drink. Son of Adam will say: O Lord, how can I give you a [water] drink when you are the Lord of the worlds? Allah will say: Did you not know that my slave so-and-so asked you for [water] to drink and you did not? Did you not know that if you had given him [water] to drink, you would have found that with Me? O son of Adam, I fell ill and you did not visit me. Son of Adam will say: O Lord, how can I visit you when you are the Lord of the worlds? Allah will say: Did you not know that my slave so-and-so was ill and if you had visited him, you would have found that with me, or you would have found me with him?
