حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ذَهَبَ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ بِالْأَجْرِ، يُصَلُّونَ وَيَصُومُونَ وَيَحُجُّونَ قَالَ: "وَأَنْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ وَتَصُومُونَ وَتَحُجُّونَ " قُلْتُ: يَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَتَصَدَّقُ قَالَ: "وَأَنْتَ فِيكَ صَدَقَةٌ: رَفْعُكَ الْعَظْمَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَهِدَايَتُكَ الطَّرِيقَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَعَوْنُكَ الضَّعِيفَ بِفَضْلِ قُوَّتِكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَبَيَانُكَ عَنِ الْأَرْثَمِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمُبَاضَعَتُكَ امْرَأَتَكَ صَدَقَةٌ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نَأْتِي شَهْوَتَنَا وَنُؤْجَرُ؟ قَالَ: "أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ جَعَلْتَهُ فِي حَرَامٍ، أَكُنْتَ تَأْثَمُ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: "فَتَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالْخَيْرِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! All the reward and merit have been taken by the wealthy people; they pray, they fast, and they also perform Hajj." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You also do these acts." I said, "They give charity, but we cannot give charity." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You can also do this: removing a bone from the path is charity, guiding someone on the way is charity, helping a weak person with your strength is charity, clarifying the speech of a person who stammers is charity, and having intercourse with your wife is also charity." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Do we get reward even for fulfilling our 'desire'?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if you were to do this act in a forbidden way, would you not be sinful?" I replied, "Yes." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You count the sin but do not count the good deed."
