Charity Does Not Decrease Wealth
مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ
Charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives another except that Allah increases his honor. And no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah except that Allah raises his status.

Finding hadith references and reading with context
How can I find a hadith by topic or reference?
Use the hadith search to look for words in the title, English text or reference. You can also filter by collection. Open an entry for its available Arabic text, reference, grading and explanatory notes.
Does every hadith have the same grading?
No. Check the grading supplied with the individual narration rather than assuming every entry has the same status. Where a grading or its attribution needs clarification, check the source and report the issue for review.
Can a hadith entry answer my personal religious ruling?
An entry is a reading resource with its supplied reference and notes. A personal religious question may require context and qualified scholarship. Ask a qualified scholar rather than treating an isolated quotation or a website summary as a personal ruling.
