حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الْأَمْوَالِ بِالْأَجْرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ فِيكَ صَدَقَةً كَثِيرَةً " فَذَكَرَ فَضْلَ سَمْعِكَ، وَفَضْلَ بَصَرِكَ، قَالَ: "وَفِي مُبَاضَعَتِكَ أَهْلَكَ صَدَقَةٌ " فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: أَيُؤْجَرُ أَحَدُنَا فِي شَهْوَتِهِ؟ قَالَ: "أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ وَضَعْتَهُ فِي غَيْرِ حِلٍّ أَكَانَ عَلَيْكَ وِزْرٌ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: "أَفَتَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالْخَيْرِ " (٣)،

English translation

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 has been taken by the wealthy people." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You can also do this: removing a bone from the path is charity, guiding someone on the road 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 submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Do we get reward even for fulfilling our 'desire'?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if you were to fulfill this desire in a forbidden way, would you not incur sin?" I replied, "Yes." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You count the sin but do not count the good deed."
