Abu Dharr related that some people from among the Companions of the Prophet (SAW) said to the Prophet (SAW): Oh Messenger of Allah, the rich have taken the reward – they pray like we pray, they fast like we fast, and they give charity out of the abundance of their wealth. He said: And has not Allah made for you a way to give charity? Indeed every tasbih [“Subhanallah”] is charity, every takbir [“Allahu akbar”] is charity, every tahmid [“Alhamdu lillah”] is charity, every tahlil [“La ilaha illa Allah”] is charity; prescribing good is charity, prohibiting wrongdoing is charity, and in the genitals [bud’] of any of you there is charity. They said: Oh Messenger of Allah, if any of us takes care of his sex drive, is there is a reward for him in that? He said: Do you see that if he does it with that which is forbidden it would be a sin to him? And in the same way, if he does it with that which is permissible, it is a reward to him.
