Angel’s Duas for Generosity?
Question
I’ve heard that the angels make dua for a generous person. Is this true?
Answer
Yes. It is established in the Hadith that the angels make Dua in favour of a generous person. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said in the Hadith: “Every morning, Allah appoints two angels to come down to the earth and make Dua. One angel says: “O Allah, grant the one who spends in charity a better return”. And the other angel says: “O Allah cause the one who is stingy to suffer a loss” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith #: 1442)
And Allah Knows Best
