Mishkat al-Masabih #1799
Zakat
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَادِرُوا بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَإِنَّ الْبَلَاءَ لَا يَتَخَطَّاهَا» . رَوَاهُ رَزِينٌ
‘Ali reported God’s messenger as saying,
“Give the sadaqa without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.”*
Razln transmitted it.
* The idea is that it acts as a barrier beyond which calamity cannot pass.
