Explanation of the hadith of Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him): (Every Muslim owes charity)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The second hadith carries the same meaning as the previous one, but through a different chain. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Every Muslim has to give in charity على كلِّ مسلمٍ صدقة
Sahih al-Bukhari 1445
. He said: “What if he finds nothing?” He said:
He should find work and thus benefit himself and be able to give sadaqa. فليعمَلْ ، فلينفَعْ نفسه ، وليتصدَّق
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 14:48
. This narration explains the previous phrase in the earlier hadith. There, it said: “What if you are not able to do some of the work?” Here, it said: “What if he finds nothing?” He said:
He should find work and thus benefit himself and be able to give sadaqa. فليعمَلْ ، فلينفَعْ نفسه ، وليتصدَّق
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 14:48
. He said: “What if he is not able to, or does not do it?” He said:
He should help someone with a great need. لِيُعِنْ ذا الحاجة الملهوف
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 14:48
. If he is not able to do anything to earn and give charity, then let him help the needy and distressed person; that is, the one who is afflicted and sad. He said: “What if he is not able to, or does not do it?” He said:
Let him enjoin what is right, for that is a charity فليأمُرْ بالمعروف ، فهو صدقة
. He said: “What if he is not able to, or does not do it?” He said:
keep away from evil deeds and this will be regarded as charitable deeds يمسك عن الشَّرِّ ؛ فإنها له صدقة
Sahih al-Bukhari 1445
