📖 1 min readعن عائشة رضي الله عنها : أنهم ذبحوا شاة فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : «ما بقي منها؟» قالت: ما بقي منها إلا كتفها. قال: «بقي كلها غير كتفها».
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered a sheep then they gave all of it in charity except its shoulder. So he said to ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that all of the sheep remains for them with Allah, the Almighty, as a reward that they will receive in the Hereafter, because it was given out in charity. As to the part that was not given out in charity (the shoulder), it is actually not left for them because it is not rewarded.
