Sahih
Sahih al-Bukhari · 2989·Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (RA)

كُلُّ سُلَامَى مِنَ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَطْلُعُ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ تَعْدِلُ بَيْنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ صَدَقَةٌ وَتُعِينُ الرَّجُلَ فِي دَابَّتِهِ فَتَحْمِلُهُ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ تَرْفَعُ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا مَتَاعَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ وَبِكُلِّ خَطْوَةٍ تَمْشِيهَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ صَدَقَةٌ وَتُمِيطُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ

Translation

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'Every joint of a person must perform a charity each day the sun rises: to judge justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount is a charity; a good word is a charity; every step you take to the prayer is a charity; and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.'

Practice This Today

Today, count your small acts of goodness as sadaqah — a smile, a kind word, helping someone, removing an obstacle. Every joint is owed its daily charity.
