The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 33 (#Ḥadīth #5)

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ عَبْدٌ الصَّدَقَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ أَحْسَنَ الله الْخِلافَةَ عَلَى وُلْدِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَقَالَ حُسْنُ الصَّدَقَةِ يَقْضِي الدَّيْنَ وَيَخْلُفُ عَلَى الْبَرَكَةِ.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘Whenever a man gives charity of the best quality, Allah replaces it for him with children in the same way (of best quality children) after his passing away.” The Imam has also said, ‘Giving charity of best quality pays off debts and leaves behind blessings.’”
