Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatahu

“A Charity is due for every joint in each person

'Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem'.

'Assalam Alaikum Wa Rehmath Ullahi Wa Barkatahu'

    Abu Hurairah [Allah be pleased with him] who quoted ... 

 PROPHET ~(Sal-Allahu-Allaihi-Wasallam) as saying...

“A Charity is due for every joint in each person on everyday  that the sun comes up ...

 to act justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount,  lifting him onto it or hoisting up  his belongings onto it is a charity;  a good word is a charity; and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.”[Source~Related by Al _Bukhari & Muslim].

Hadith # 2 on 'Sadaqah'...  Sayyiduna Abu Dhar (RadhiAllaho anho) narrates...

 PROPHET ~ (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said... Each morning for every person  a 'Sadaqah' is due for each joint 
 Every utterance of  
'Subhan Allah'

(Glory be to Allah Who is above all faults)is an act of 'Sadaqah'.

Every utterance of 'Alhamdulillah '(Praise be to Allah)is an act of Sadaqah. 
Every utterance of 
'La ilaha Illallah'.

(None is worthy of worship but Allah)is an act of 'Sadaqah'.
Every utterance of 'Allahu Akbar'(Allah is the Greatest)

is an act of 'Sadaqah'.Enjoining Good... is an act of 'Sadaqah' 

 Forbiding from Evil... is an act of 'Sadaqah' 'Amar Bil Maroof...Nahi Anil Munkar'

(Enjoining the right...Forbidding the wrong)

Commentary...“Charity is due from every joint bone” means that when a person gets up in the morning,

 it is obligatory for him to thank Allah for having every joint of his intact. 

Therefore, one must praise and glorify Allah. Since a single invocation of the 

words mentioned in this 'Hadith' is equivalent to one 'Sadaqah',

 one must say these words for 360 times ! a number which equals the number of joints in man’s body. Moreover, to enjoin someone to do what is good and dissuade somebody from vice constitutes 'Sadaqah'. 

However, if one performs two Rak`ah of Duha prayer, it will serve for Sadaqah for all the joints of the body.

 We also learn from this 'Hadith' that 'Sadaqah' is not restricted to spending money alone 

but also has a vast meaning and covers all forms of virtues mentioned here ! {Alhamdullilah}

"All that is on earth will Perish.. But will abide {Forever}the Face of thy LORD, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour"

{'Qur`an'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 }

' Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta  

 Astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk'.  

[Exalted and Glorified is my Lord (ALLAH) and all prayers and praises are due to HIM (alone)and I bear witness that there is no other Lord or God except YOU (ALLAH)  I seek your forgiveness and I repent unto YOU... ************************************************************

If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah [Subhanahu wa Taa'ala]and if I erred,  then that is from me and shaytan.                        *********************************************************************************
