Assalam alaikum,
Abu Musa Al-Asha'ri, may Allah be pleased with him, recounts that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, once said,
''There is Sadaqah due on every Muslim: If he cannot give
because he has no money, let him work. Then he can support
himself and give charity. If he is unable to work, then let him
help someone in need of his help. If he cannot do this, then let
him enjoin good. If he cannot do that, then he should do no
evil nor harm others. (Even) this shall be written for him as Sadaqah''
( Ahmad ).
Related to this, we find in other areas of Hadith Literature that there are many kinds of Sadaqah we can give, which carry lots of reward that Money cannot buy; such as:--
1. Simple Smile:--Giving that friendly smiling face to your brother(s)
in Islam attracts reward from Allah Ta'ala.
2. Sincere Advice:-- Such as helping someone secure employment, or
making them become more displined/organized
in daily life.
3. Feeding the homeless/poor.
4. Visiting the sick, and
5. Praying For Others:--Whereby the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, said,
''The quickest prayer to be answered is one's supplication
for his brother in his absence''. (Bukhari)...thus keeping others
in our sincere Du'a requires selflessness, the very kernel in
brotherhood.
May we, therefore, NOTE this accordingly.
