why charity?

قالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (ص) :
لاتَزالُ أُمَّتي بِخَيرٍ مَالَم يَتَخَاوَنُوا، وَ اَدَّوُا الأََمانَةَ، وَ آتَوُا الزَّكاةَ، وَ إذا لَم يَفعَلُوا ذلِكَ اُبْتُلُوا بِالقَحْطِ وَالسِّنِينَ


وسائل الشيعة/6/13

The Holy Prophet [p.b.u.h.] said: "My community will continue to live fairly while they are faithful (to each other), return the deposits (to their owners), and give alms (of their property); but, if they do not fulfil these duties, they will encounter famine and scarcity."

Wasa'il-ush Shia'ah, vol. 6, p.13

قالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (ص) :
تَصَدَّقُوا وَ داوُوا مَرضاكُم بِالصَّدَقَة، فَاِنَّ الصَّـدَقَة تَدفَـعُ عَـنِ الأَعراضِ وَالأَمراضِ وَ هِيَ زِيادَة في أَعمارِكُم وَ حَسَناتِكُم

كنز العُمّال/6/371

The Holy Prophet [p.b.u.h.] said: "Give alms and cure your sick persons by it, because alms can surely remove your bad fortunes and ailments; and it causes prolongation of your lifetimes and increases your rewards."

Kanz-ul-'Ummal, vol. 6, p. 371

رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ (ص) قالَ :
لَمّا اُسرِيَ بي إِلى السَّماءِ رَاَيتُ عَلى بابِ الجَنَّة ثَلاثَةَ اَسطُـرٍ، اَلسَّطـرُ الأوَّلُ: بِسـمِ الله الرحمنِ الرَّحيـمِ أَنَـا اللّه لا إِلهَ إلاّ أَنَا سَبَقَت رَحمَتي غَضَبي وَ السَّطـرُ الثّاني : بِسـمِ الله الرَّحمنِ الرَّحيـمِ اَلصَّدَقَةُ بِعَشَـرَةٍ، وَالقَـرضُ بِثَمـانِيَةَ عَشَـرَ، وَصِلَة الْأَرحامِ بِثَلاثينَ وَالسَّطرُ الثّالِثُ: مَن عَرَفَ قَـدْري وَ رُبُوبِيَّتي فَلا يَتَّهِمْني فِي الرِّزقِ

الاثنى عشريّه/85

It is narrated from the Holy Prophet [p.b.u.h.] who said:

"When I ascended to the sky, I saw three lines written on the door of Heaven:

The first line: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful; I am Allah and there is no god save Me that My Grace preceeds My wrath.

The second line: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful; charity is repaid ten times and loan eighteen times, and regard for kinship thirty times.

The third line: He who understands My Rank and My Lordship should never accuse Me regarding sustenance."

Al - Ithna 'Ashariyyah, p. 85
