An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.25
On the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him):
Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah, the affluent have made off with the rewards: they pray as we pray, they fast as we fast, and they give away in charity the superfluity of their wealth."
He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Has not Allah made things for you to give away in charity?
Truly every Tasbih is a charity,
every Takbir is a charity,
every Tahmid is a charity,
and every Tahlil is a charity;
to enjoin a good action is a charity,
to forbid an evil action is a charity,
and in the sexual act of each of you there is a charity."
They said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), when one of us fulfills his sexual desire will he have some reward for that?"
He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do you not think that were he to act upon it unlawfully he would be sinning? Likewise, if he has acted upon it lawfully he will have a reward."
