Shahih Bukhari - 1332

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Al Yaman] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Syu'aib] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Az Zanad] dari [Al A'raj] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu]; Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam berkata,: "Ada seorang laki-laki berkata,: Aku pasti akan bershadaqah. Lalu dia keluar dengan membawa shadaqahnya dan ternyata jatuh ke tangan seorang pencuri. Keesokan paginya orang-orang ramai membicarakan bahwa dia telah memberikan shadaqahnya kepada seorang pencuri. Mendengar hal itu orang itu berkata,: "Ya Allah segala puji bagiMu, aku pasti akan bershadaqah lagi". Kemudian dia keluar dengan membawa shadaqahnya lalu ternyata jatuh ke tangan seorang pezina. Keesokan paginya orang-orang ramai membicarakan bahwa dia tadi malam memberikan shadaqahnya kepada seorang pezina. Maka orang itu berkata, lagi: Ya Allah segala puji bagiMu, (ternyata shadaqahku jatuh) kepada seorang pezina, aku pasti akan bershadaqah lagi. Kemudian dia keluar lagi dengan membawa shadaqahnya lalu ternyata jatuh ke tangan seorang yang kaya. Keesokan paginya orang-orang kembali ramai membicarakan bahwa dia memberikan shadaqahnya kepada seorang yang kaya. Maka orang itu berkata,: Ya Allah segala puji bagiMu, (ternyata shadaqahku jatuh) kepada seorang pencuri, pezina, dan orang kaya. Setelah itu orang tadi bermimpi dan dikatakan padanya: "Adapun shadaqah kamu kepada pencuri, mudah-mudahan dapat mencegah si pencuri dari perbuatannya, sedangkan shadaqah kamu kepada pezina, mudah-mudahan dapat mencegahnya berbuat zina kembali dan shadaqah kamu kepada orang yang kaya mudah-mudahan dapat memberikan pelajaran baginya agar menginfaqkan harta yang diberikan Allah kepadanya". (HR. Bukhari: 1332)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A man said that he would give something in charity. He went out with his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next morning the people said that he had given his object of charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. I will give alms again." And so he again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his alms to an adulteress last night. The man said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I will give alms again." So he went out with his alms again and (unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people) next morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person. He said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I had given alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man." Then someone came and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and that given to the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual intercourse (adultery), and that given to the wealthy man might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth which Allah has given him, in Allah's cause."
