عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الدُّثُورِ بِالْأُجُورِ، يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي، وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ، وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ بِفُضُولِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ، قَالَ: «أَوَلَيْسَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللهُ لَكُمْ مَا تَصَّدَّقُونَ؟ إِنَّ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَكُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَكُلِّ تَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةً، وَكُلِّ تَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةً،  وَأَمْرٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَنَهْيٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَفِي بُضْعِ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ»قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيَأتِي أَحَدُنَا شَهْوَتَهُ وَيَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهَا أَجْرٌ؟ قَالَ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ وَضَعَهَا فِي حَرَامٍ، أَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا وِزْرٌ؟ فَكَذَلِكَ إِذَا وَضَعَهَا فِي الْحَلَالِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ».

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

1. Some people said to Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah, the rich have taken away (all the) reward. They observe Salat (prayers) as we do; and give Sadaqah (charity) out of their surplus wealth." 2. Upon this he (the Prophet (peace be upon him)) said, "Has Allah not prescribed for you (a course) following which you can (also) give Sadaqah? 3. In every declaration of the glorification of Allah (i.e., saying Subhan Allah) there is a Sadaqah, and in every Takbir (i.e., saying Allahu Akbar) is a Sadaqah, and in every celebration of praise (saying Al-hamdu lillah) is a Sadaqah, and in every declaration that He is One (La ilaha illallah) is a Sadaqah,  4. and in enjoining of good is a Sadaqah, and in forbidding evil is a Sadaqah,  5. and in man's sexual intercourse (with his wife) there is a Sadaqah."  6.They (the Companions) said: "O Messenger of Allah, is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual need among us?" He said, "You see, if he were to satisfy it with something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his part? Similarly, if he were to satisfy it legally, he should be rewarded".

Abu Dharr Jundub ibn Junādah al-Ghifārī

Abu Dharr Jundub ibn Junādah al-Ghifārī was an aesthetic and truthful person, a distinguished and honourable companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him). He used to engage in worship at night for nearly three years before the start of the Islamic message. He embraced Islam in Makkah in the early days of the message, and some reports mention that he was the fourth person to become a Muslim. When Abu Bakr died, Abu Dharr left Madinah for Syria and remained there until ‘Uthmān became caliph. ‘Uthmān invited him back and told him to settle at al-Rabadhah. He died there. His funeral prayer was led by another companion of the Prophet, ‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd. He died in Year 32 AH, 653 CE.
