Whoever was among the people of prayer will be called from the gate of prayer, and whoever was among the people of jihad will be called from the gate of jihad, and whoever was among the people of charity will be called from the gate of charity, and whoever was among the people of fasting will be called from the gate of fasting, the gate of Al-Rayyan.

And know that the best kind of charity is to give in charity what you have and only have what it is permissible for you to have willingly. The highest of that is to be a performer of a trust which the Lawgiver calls charity in the language of the letter, so your hand becomes the hand of God when giving, and for this reason we say trust, for people like this do not benefit. It is due to its Creator, but it is deserved by the one for whom it was created, which is the created being.

So if it is in the hand of the one to whom charity is given, the Most Merciful takes it with his right hand. If the giver in the soul of this servant when he gives it is God the Giver, let his hand be higher than the hand of the one to whom charity is given, which is the beggar, and it is necessary, for the upper hand is the hand of God and it is the one who spends, and if this giver sees the hand of the Most Merciful taking it from him.

Such charity will not be said to the giver on the Day of Resurrection from where it was given in charity or to whom it was given, for this is the same reward. If the taker is like him in this rank, he will be equal in happiness and the merit of the giver in degree. One and only, and if it is not of this reward, then it is in accordance with the quality in which God evaluates him. If the charity is voluntary charity, then it is a divine blessing.
