TRYING TO MAKE PEACE BETWEEN PEOPLE IS SADAQAH (CHARITY)

Hazrat Abu Hurayrah Razi Allah Anhu has narrated that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said, "it is Wajib (necessary) for a person to do Sadaqah as many times a day as the number of joints in his body." But Allah Ta'alah has made doing this Sadaqah very easy by declaring even small good deeds  to be Sadaqah. Rasool Allah  ﷺ further said that for example, there was a feud between two people, you made peace between them. This act is a Sadaqah. A person was trying to mount his ride but was unable to do so for some reason. You helped him get on his ride. This is a Sadaqah. A person was trying to load some luggage but was finding it difficult to do so. You helped him load his luggage. This is a Sadaqah. Similarly, saying something kind to another human being is a Sadaqah. For example, someone was sad and you said something nice to relieve his distress, or said something to make someone happy. That is a Sadaqah. When you walk towards the mosque every step is a Sadaqah. If you see something on the road that may harm people, and you move it out of the way of people, that is a Sadaqah. (Musnad of Ahmad)
