How authentic is this Hadith?
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“How excellent a gift/act of charity is [to lend someone] the she-camel which has recently given birth and which gives profuse milk, and [to lend] the sheep which gives profuse milk, a bowl in the morning and another in the evening.”
Answer:
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu). The Hadith is therefore authentic.
