Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:

If anyone gives as Sadaqa the equivalent of a date from that (earning) earned honestly, for Allah accepts that which is lawful, the Lord would accept it with His Right Hand, and even if it is a date, it would foster in the Hand of the lord, as one of you fosters his colt, till it becomes bigger than a mountain.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim that his father used to say:
