The Fish of Madinah

was starving. Regretfully, though we claim to be the devotees of Ahl-e-Bayt, we keep the food that remains after we have eaten, in the fridge for the next meal, instead of giving it to someone. Certainly, to feed the one who is hungry and give water to someone who is thirsty, earns great reward. Related to it, two sayings of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are being mentioned:

1.          To a Muslim who feeds another Muslim who is hungry, at the Day of Judgement, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make him eat fruits of Jannah (Paradise) and the one who will give water to a Muslim who is thirsty, at the Day of Judgement, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make him drink the endorsed wine that is pure and clean and a Muslim who gives clothes to wear to the other Muslim who does not have clothes, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make him wear green costume of Jannah.

(Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 204, Hadees 2457)

The one who feeds a hungry Muslim to his full appetite, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will enter him in Jannah from that door from which, only people like him will enter. (Al-Mu’jam-ul- Kabeer lit-Tabarani, vol. 20, pp. 85, Hadees 162)
