حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ الضُّبَعِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِىُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلٌ مَوْلَى أَبِى عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ عَنْ أَبِى الأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِىِّ عَنْ أَبِى ذَرٍّ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالُوا لِلنَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الدُّثُورِ بِالأُجُورِ يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّى وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ بِفُضُولِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ. قَالَ « أَوَلَيْسَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مَا تَصَّدَّقُونَ إِنَّ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةً وَكُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلِّ تَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلِّ تَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَأَمْرٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ وَنَهْىٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَفِى بُضْعِ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ ». قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَأْتِى أَحَدُنَا شَهْوَتَهُ وَيَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهَا أَجْرٌ قَالَ « أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ وَضَعَهَا فِى حَرَامٍ أَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا وِزْرٌ فَكَذَلِكَ إِذَا وَضَعَهَا فِى الْحَلاَلِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ ».

It was narrated from Abu Dharr that some of companions of the Prophet (SAW) said to Prophet(SAW): “O,Messenger of Allah the rich people have taken all the reward .They offer Salat as we offer Salat and they fast as we fast ,but they give charity from their surplus wealth .He said ‘Has Allah not given you something with which you may do acts of charity? Every Tasbihah is a charity ,every Takbirah is a charity ,every Tahmidah is a charity ,every Tahlilah is a charity enjoining what is good is a charity forbidding what is evil is a charity and (The intimacy of one of you with his wife )is a charity.; They said: “Ó Messenger of Allah if one of us fulfils his desires will he be rewarded for that ?He said: ‘Do you not see that if he did it in an unlawful manner, there would be a burden of sin on him for that? Similarly if he does it in a lawful manner he will be rewarded for it.”
