"Every good deed you do for a rich or poor person is a charity." It has been narrated through two paths: The first is from Ibn Masʿūd, recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (3/62/1), al-Kharāʾiṭī (p. 13), Ibn ʿAdī (201/2), and "al-Ḥilyah" (3/49) from Ṣadaqah ibn Mūsá and Muḥammad ibn al-Muẓaffar in "Gharāʾib Shuʿbah" (1/2) and also "al-Ḥilyah" (7/194) from Shuʿbah, both from Farqad al-Sabkhī from Ibrāhīm from ʿAlqamah from him as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Ibn ʿAdī said: "I do not know anyone who narrates it from Farqad except Ṣadaqah ibn Mūsá." I say: He is truthful but makes mistakes, yet Shuʿbah has corroborated him as you have seen, and Abū Nuʿaym found it strange from his path. However, Farqad is weak in ḥadīth and makes many mistakes as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb." The second is from Jābir, narrated by Ibn ʿAsākir (8/228/1-2) from Abū Dāwūd Sulaymān ibn Sayf who said: I was with Abū ʿĀṣim al-Nabīl while he was walking and wearing a ṭaylasān, and his ṭaylasān fell off, so I adjusted it for him. He turned to me and said: Every good deed is a charity. I asked: Who mentioned it, may Allāh have mercy on you? He said: Ibn Jurayj informed us from ʿAṭāʾ from Jābir as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. I say: This isnād has all trustworthy men, but I do not know the condition of those below Sulaymān. "Tārīkh Ibn ʿAsākir" is currently inaccessible, unfortunately, but it is presumed that it does not contain severe weakness that would prevent it from being used as supporting evidence, especially since the first part of the ḥadīth supports its general meaning. It is authentic and has numerous supporting evidences, some of which are in "al-Ṣaḥīḥayn," and they are extracted in "al-Rawḍ al-Naḍīr" (231).
