Question

Is there a Hadith – that if a person gives a date in the path of Allah, Allah will reward him with mountains in gold but if he gives mountains of gold for name and fame (i.e., without sincerity) Allah will take him to task on the Day of Qiyamah?

If so is it authentic?

 

Answer

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“When one donates charity equal to a date from pure earnings, -and Allah will only accept that which is pure- Allah accepts it and grows it (the reward) just like some of you grow your young animals until it (the reward) reaches the size of a mountain.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1410)

The second part of your question seems to be the understanding of a combination of Hadiths. I haven’t seen it in any particular Hadith as clear as that.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,

التخريج من المصادر العربية

صحيح البخاري:
(١٤١٠) 
 حدثنا عبد الله بن منير، سمع أبا النضر، حدثنا عبد الرحمن هو ابن عبد الله بن دينار، عن أبيه، عن أبي صالح، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «من تصدق بعدل تمرة من كسب طيب، ولا يقبل الله إلا الطيب، وإن الله يتقبلها بيمينه، ثم يربيها لصاحبه، كما يربي أحدكم فلوه، حتى تكون مثل الجبل» تابعه سليمان، عن ابن دينار، وقال ورقاء: عن ابن دينار، عن سعيد بن يسار، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، ورواه مسلم بن أبي مريم، وزيد بن أسلم، وسهيل، عن أبي صالح، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم.
