Sadaqah
Sadaqah consists of many things, but it usually refers to monetary donations, and it is a voluntary action with no minimum amount required.
“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.”
[Tirmidhi]
Abu Hurairah (r.a.) narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, ‘O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your cause’, and the other (angel) says, ‘O Allah! Destroy every miser.’”
(Bukhari, Vol. 2, Hadith 522)
