تَصَدَّقُوا وَلَوْ بِتَمْرَةٍ، فَإِنَّهَا تَسُدُّ مِنَ الْجَائِعِ، وَتُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ
Give in charity even if it is with one date, for indeed it will satisfy the hungry and extinguish sin as water extinguishes fire.
Abu Hurairah
Musnad Ahmad
Ahmad 9368
Charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.
Muadh ibn Jabal - Sunan al-Tirmidhi
Protect yourselves from the Fire, even if with half a date (in charity).
Adi ibn Hatim - Sahih Bukhari & Muslim
Whoever gives charity equal to a date from good earnings - and Allah does not accept except what is good - Allah will accept it with His Right Hand, then He will nurture it for its owner, as one of you nurtures his foal, until it becomes like a mountain.
Abu Hurairah - Sahih Bukhari & Muslim
