Muwatta Malik #1968
Sadaqa
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحُبَابِ، سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ - وَلاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ طَيِّبًا - كَانَ إِنَّمَا يَضَعُهَا فِي كَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ يُرَبِّيهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ أَوْ فَصِيلَهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ " .
Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Abu'l-Hubab Said ibn
Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Whoever gives sadaqa from good earning - and Allah only
accepts the good - it is as if he placed it in the palm of the
Merciful to raise it, as one of you raises his foal or young camel
until it is like the mountain "
