حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلاَّ عِزًّا وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Yahya ibn Ayyub, Qutaybah, and Ibn Hujr narrated to us; they said: Ismail—that is, Ibn Jafar—narrated to us, from al-Ala, from his father, from Abu Huraira, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Charity does not diminish wealth. Allah increases a servant in honor through forgiveness, and no one humbles himself for Allah but Allah raises him.
