Hadith on Charity: Whoever asks by Allah, give him

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever seeks refuge in the name of Allah, grant him refuge. Whoever asks you in the name of Allah, give him. Whoever invites you, answer him. Whoever does something good for you, reciprocate him. If you have nothing to reciprocate, supplicate for him until he sees that you have repaid him.”

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنِ اسْتَعَاذَ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعِيذُوهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ بِاللَّهِ فَأَعْطُوهُ وَمَنْ دَعَاكُمْ فَأَجِيبُوهُ وَمَنْ صَنَعَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَعْرُوفًا فَكَافِئُوهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا مَا تُكَافِئُونَهُ فَادْعُوا لَهُ حَتَّى تَرَوْا أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ كَافَأْتُمُوهُ
