— Abu Hurayrah (RA) (Bukhari & Muslim)

nawawiDay.commentary

The body itself owes a daily 'tax' of good — paid in countless small ways.

nawawiDay.extendedExplanation

Three hundred and sixty joints — the Prophet ﷺ informs us before modern anatomy did — each owe a daily ṣadaqah. The categories are practical: reconciling people, helping someone with their load, a kind word, every step toward prayer, removing harm.

The Prophet ﷺ ends: two rak‘ah of ḍuḥā suffice for all of it. Allah, in His mercy, accepts a small structured act as a substitute for an enormous mathematical debt.

nawawiDay.fromScholars

"The hadith proves that the believer is never short of opportunities to do good — they are scattered along his path from morning to night."

— Ibn Daqīq al-‘Eid · Sharḥ al-Arba‘īn

"‘Removing harm from the road’ has become more relevant than ever — the digital ‘road’ is full of harm that the believer should remove or refuse to spread."

— Ibn ‘Uthaymīn

  • •Reconciling between two disputing parties is among the highest ṣadaqāt (Bukhari).
  • •Speaking a good word (kalimah ṭayyibah) is ṣadaqah — even if no money is involved.

nawawiDay.keyBenefits

  • 1Good is everywhere — open eyes find it.
  • 2The body is a trust to be used in good.

nawawiDay.warnings

  • ⚠Do not treat ṣadaqāt as ‘either–or’ alternatives to obligatory worship — they complement, not replace.
  • ⚠The number 360 is the exact joint count; ‘removing harm’ should be matched in scope to the harm’s magnitude (don’t risk greater harm).
