Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا أَوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ طَيْرٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ إِلَّا كَانَت لَهُ صَدَقَة» وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ: «وَمَا سُرِقَ مِنْهُ لَهُ صَدَقَة»
Translation
Anas said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘There is no Muslim who plants a tree or sows a crop, and a person, bird, or animal eats from it, but that it counts as charity for him.’ In a version from Jabir transmitted by Muslim: ‘And whatever is stolen from it counts as charity for him.’
