Chapter 1 | Virtue of Charity

8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ كَانَ فِي وَصِيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ الله وَسَلامُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَّا الصَّدَقَةُ فَجُهْدَكَ جُهْدَكَ حَتَّى يُقَالَ قَدْ أَسْرَفْتَ وَلَمْ تُسْرِفْ.

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah , narrate this Hadith. ‘It is in the will of the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, which is addressed to ’Amir al-Mu’minin . “As far as charity is concerned, strive to do your best until it is said that you have exceeded the limit, but in fact you have not exceeded.” He (the Messenger of Allah) has explained.’”
