STORY 2:
Effects of Sadaqa

Continued from:
A translation of a profound khutbah by a respected Shaikh in London:

A young man’s mother was hospitalized due to old age & fell into a coma. She was put in intensive care.

A few days later, the doctors told him that her condition was hopeless, she could expire at any moment.

He left from the hospital distraught about his mother to tend to some need. On his way back, returning to visit his mother, he stopped at a gas station. As he was waiting for the attendant to fill up his tank, he noticed that a cat had a new litter under a cardboard box. They could barely walk. The mother along with her babies looked weak & helpless. He thought: Who would feed them under these circumstances, & so went to the nearest store & bought a can of tuna, opened & poured out the contents for the tiny creatures & continued on his way to the hospital.

When he entered the intensive care unit, he saw that his mother wasn’t there anymore, he dropped what was in his hands, & rushed to ask the nurse about her. Aиϑ the nurse informed him that her condition had improved drastically, so they had moved her to the next room.

He went to his mother & found her fully alert. He greeted her & asked what happened & she said that she had a dream while she was unconscious. She said that she saw a cat & her kittens with their hands extended towards the Heavens praying for her. The young man just stood there in amazement while tears poured down his face.

From Hudayfah -Radi Allaahu anhu- that Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said: :
‘A fitnah (trail) which a man
faces with regard to his family,
his wealth, his own self,
his son aиϑ his neighbor is
expiated by fasting, prayer,
charity, enjoining good aиϑ
forbidding evil.’
[Collected by Bukhari & Muslim]

Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d.751 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:
“Indeed Sadaqah has an amazing
effect in repelling different types
of trials aиϑ tribulations, even
if the charity was given by an
evil person, or an oppressive
person, in fact even if it was
given by a non-Muslim!
Indeed Allaah Ta’ala repels
different types of trials aиϑ
tribulations due to giving
Sadaqah. This is a matter which
is well-known to the scholars
aиϑ the general folk, aиϑ all of
the people on the earth can
associate with this fact
because they have experienced
it.”
[ ‘al-Wabil as-Sayyib’ p.63]
