قال الله تعالىٰ: {وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ} [المائدة: 2] ، وقال تعالىٰ: { وَٱلۡعَصۡرِ * إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَفِي خُسۡرٍ * إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ} [العصر: 1 ـ 3].
Allah Almighty says: {Cooperate with one another in goodness and righteousness} [Surat al-Mā’idah: 2] Allah Almighty also says: {By the time, man is in utter loss. Except those who believe and do righteous deeds, and exhort one another to the truth and exhort one another to patience.} [Surat al-‘Asr: 1-3]
قال الإمَام الشَّافِعِي ــ رَحِمَه الله ــ كَلَاماً مَعْنَاهُ: إنَّ النَّاسَ أوْ أَكْثَرَهُمْ في غَفْلَةٍ عَنْ تَدَبُّرِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ.
Imam Al-Shāfi‘i (may Allah have mercy upon him) said that people, or most of them, are heedless of pondering on the meaning of this Surah.
1) التعاون علىٰ البر والتقوىٰ خير ما اجتمع عليه أهل الإيمان وتواصوا به.
1) Cooperation in goodness and righteousness is the best act done by the believers and the best one they enjoin one another to do.
3) كل إنسان خاسر إلا من اتصف بالأوصاف الأربعة: أن يكون مؤمناً بما يجب الإيمان به، وأن يكون عاملاً بمقتضىٰ إيمانه بالأعمال الصالحات، وأن يكون داعياً للحق، وأن يصبر علىٰ الأذىٰ في سبيل هذه الدعوة.
2) All people are losers except one who has the following four characteristics: 1- He believes in what it is obligatory to believe in. 2-He does righteous deeds as entailed by his belief. 3- He calls others to the truth. 4- He is patient with the harm he receives in this mission.

2/178ــ وعن أبي سعيد الخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَ بَعْثاً إلىٰ بَني لِحْيانَ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ، فقالَ: «لِيَنْبَعِثْ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالأجْرُ بَيْنَهُمَا». رواه مسلم.

3/179ــ وعن ابنِ عباسٍ رضي الله عنهما أنَّ رسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لَقِيَ رَكْباً بالرَّوحَاء،ِ فقال: «مَن الْقَوْمُ ؟» قَالُوا: المُسْلِمُونَ، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ أَنْتَ ؟ قال: «رسولُ الله» فَرَفَعَتْ إلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ صَبِيّاً فَقَالَتْ: أَلِهَذَا حَجٌّ؟ قال: «نَعَمْ، وَلَكِ أَجْرٌ». رواه مسلم.
179/3- Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) came across a caravan at Al-Rawhā’ and asked who the people in the caravan were. They replied that they were Muslims. They asked: “Who are you?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah.” So a woman lifted up a boy to him and asked: “Is there Hajj for this one?” He said: “Yes, and you will have a reward.” [Narrated by Muslim]
الروحاء: مكان بين مكة والمدينة.
Al-Rawhā’: a place between Makkah and Madinah.

4/180ــ وعَنْ أَبي موسىٰ الأشْعَرِيِّ رضي الله عنه عن النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنَّهُ قال: «الخَازِنُ المُسلِمُ الأمِينُ الَّذِي يُنـَفِّذُ ما أُمِرَ بِهِ، فَيُعْطِيهِ كامِلاً مُوَفَّراً، طَيِّبَةً بِهِ نَفْسُهُ، فَيَدْفَعُهُ إلىٰ الَّذِي أُمِرَ لَهُ بِهِ أَحَدُ المُتَصدِّقِينَ». متفق عليه.
180/4- Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The honest Muslim trustee who carries out what he is ordered to do and gives out in full and wholeheartedly what he is assigned to give out, to those whom he is ordered to give to, he is one of the givers of charity.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
وفي رواية: «الَّذي يُعْطِي مَا أُمِر بِهِ» وضبَطوا (المُتَصدِّقَيْنِ) بفتح القاف مع كسر النون علىٰ التَّثْنِيَةِ، وَعَكْسُهُ عَلىٰ الجَمْعِ، وَكلاهُمَا صَحِيحٌ.
According to another version: “who gives what he is ordered to give... he is one of the two givers of charity.” Both versions are correct.
1) الترغيب في حفظ الأمانة، وأداءِ ما وُكِّل به العبد من النفقات.
1) A Muslim is encouraged to keep the trusts, and give what he is in charge of giving.
2) التعاون علىٰ البر والتقوى؛ إذ يُكتب لمن أعان عليه مثل ما يُكتب لمن فعله.
