Chapter: "Chapter on the one who does not find a reward, so let him make du'a for him."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : From this chapter is what the author followed with the eleventh chapter after the hundred, which is his saying: "Chapter on the one who does not find a reward, so let him make du'a for him". This chapter is the meaning of a section from the previous hadith of Ibn Umar, but under this chapter, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) brings another hadith, narrating it with his authentic chain from Anas, who is Abu Malik.
that the Muhajirun said, "Messenger of Allah, the Ansar have taken all the reward!" He said, "No, not as long as you make supplication for them and praise them for it." أن المهاجرين قالوا يا رسول الله ذهب الأنصار بالأجر كله قال : لا ما دعوتم الله لهم وأثنيتم عليهم به
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 217
This is a unique hadith that clarifies that every society must have the rich and the poor, and there must be those who do good and those to whom good is done, and this is what occurred among the Companions.
Some of the prayers.
That reached the poor, so their messenger returned to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They said, "O Messenger of Allah, the rich have been informed of what you mentioned to us, or what you said to us, so they did what we did." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "That is the favor of Allah, which He gives to whom He wills." فبلغ ذلك الفقراء فعاد رسولهم إلى الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام قالوا يا رسول الله بلغ الأغنياء ما ذكرت لنا أو ما قلت لنا ففعلوا مثل ما فعلنا فقال عليه الصلاة والسلام : ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء
The purpose of this and that is not what the advocates of socialism present to people today, which is the complete equalization of people; this is impossible.
It is We who have apportioned among them their means of livelihood in this worldly life نحن قسمنا بينهم معيشتهم في الحياة الدنيا
But the poor Muslim who feels regret in his heart for not finding what to give in charity finds, among the many means and legislations that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed, such that if he were to perform them, he would be more self-sufficient than many of the rich who earn wages with money. So this hadith shows that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated that these tasbeehs, tahmids, and takbirs
If you did that, you would have preceded those before you, and no one would catch up to you except one who did what they did. لو فعلتم ذلك سبقتم من قبلكم ولن يدرككم إلا من فعل مثل فعلهم
and in another hadith, he said to them (peace and blessings be upon him):
For you is a charity for every tasbeeh, a charity for every tahmid, a charity for every takbir, a charity for enjoining good, and a charity for forbidding evil. إن لكم بكل تسبيحة صدقة وبكل تحميدة صدقة وبكل تكبيرة صدقة وأمر بالمعروف صدقة ونهي عن منكر صدقة
to the end of the hadith. So, the one who does not find a cent to give in charity finds a scope to remember Allah, to glorify Him, and to magnify Him, thereby earning whatever Allah wills of charity, at a time when we find that most of the rich have devoted themselves entirely to gathering wealth. Therefore, you find among them the least of the least who devote themselves to obedience, especially increasing in voluntary acts, because they do not find the time that they spent in the path of gathering material things. So you, O poor one, spend it in the path of remembering Allah (Mighty and Majestic), glorifying Him, magnifying Him, and praising Him, and thereby you will earn from charity what those rich people are unable to match.
The point in these hadiths is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) educates two groups of people: the rich and the poor. The rich, who are able to aid those who call for help, protect those who seek protection, and give to those who ask, are commanded to protect those who seek their protection and to give to those who ask them. This is the first section of society: the rich.
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) educates the second section of society, which are the poor. Because if they are able to reciprocate the reward with its like, that is good. If they are not able, let them speak well of the one who did them good and increase their du'a for him, so that they know that they have reciprocated him. And this is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
