Question:
This questioner says: Does the intention to spend in the cause of Allah on the part of the poor person enable him to attain the reward of the wealthy person who gives charity? And what is the meaning of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement to the poor people when they came to him:Sunan Ibn Majah 1973Sahih (Darussalam)?
Answer:
Yes, the poor people are rewarded for their intention, that if they had been able, they would have done it. So if he has a good intention that if he had been able, he would have spent, or fought, he will have the reward of the fighters and the spenders. This is how the hadith came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding Tabuk:Sahih al-Bukhari 4423 And in another wording: They said: O Messenger of Allah, and they are in the city? He said: .
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is from the favor of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). If the only thing preventing him from his deeds is travel and illness, he has the reward of the workers. But as for a person who is indifferent and heedless, he does not have the reward of the workers while he is heedless, inattentive, and indifferent, with no concern, whether he is sick or not sick, whether he travels or does not travel. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
