Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“Generosity is a tree rooted in Heaven with its branches hanging over the Earth. Whoever grabs one of those branches will climb up it to Heaven.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): السخاء شجرة في الجنة أغصانها متدليات في الأرض، فمن أخذ بغصن من أغصانها قاده ذلك الغصن إلى الجنة.
