Traditions On Charity

Imam Sadiq (AS) said: "Treat your ailments with charity and repel varieties of affliction by invocation."
At-Tahthib, vol. 4, Pg.112

Hazrat Ali (AS) : Spend for the cause of God out of what He has provided to you. The spender enjoys the same rank of the Mujahid supporting for the cause of God. He who is certain of the reward will surely spend generously.

When you hand over alms to a beggar, you should ask him to supplicate to God for you, because his supplication for you will be responded while his supplication for himself may not be responded because beggars often lie.

When you want to give alms, you should first kiss the alms because it reaches God's hand before it is handed over to the beggar's. God the Exalted says: It is God who receives the welfare funds Give alms at night, because the night alms extinguish the Lord's wrath.
