9 – The judge Abū al-Qāsim informed us; Abū ʿAlī narrated to us; ʿAbd Allāh narrated to me; ʿUmar ibn Yaḥyā ibn Nāfiʿ al-Thaqafī narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn al-Ḥasan al-Hilālī narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh, reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Every act of kindness is charity, and whatever a man spends on himself and his family is recorded for him as charity; likewise, whatever he pays to safeguard his honor is recorded for him as charity.” He said: I asked Muḥammad, “What is meant by ‘whatever he pays to safeguard his honor’?” He replied, “It is something given to a poet or to someone whose sharp tongue is feared.”
