A Single Grape In Charity

1 single grape in charity …

Yahya related that Malik said:

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ مِسْكِينًا، اسْتَطْعَمَ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا عِنَبٌ فَقَالَتْ لإِنْسَانٍ خُذْ حَبَّةً فَأَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهَا فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَيَعْجَبُ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَتَعْجَبُ كَمْ تَرَى فِي هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ مِنْ مِثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ

“I heard that a beggar asked for food from A’isha while she had some grapes.
She told some one to take him one grape.
He began to look in amazement.
A’isha said, ‘Are you amazed? How many atoms’ weights do you see in this grape?’ ” (referring to Sura 99 ayat 7: “So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it.”.

[“Muwatta Imam Malik”, 1849].

She did this to teach us the following lesson: Never underestimate small acts of kindness.

One person entered Hell for starving a cat, another person entered Paradise for giving water to a thirsty dog.
