Hadees Related to Sadaqah (Sadqa)

      Abu-Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: A man said indeed I will give Sadaqah (quietly)! He came out with his Sadaqah and placed it in the hands of a thief. In the morning people began to talk and say: Sadaqah was given to a thief. The man said: O Allah! All praise is for You, I will indeed give Sadaqah. And he came out with Sadaqah and placed it in the hands of an adulteress. In the morning people began to talk and say Sadaqah was given to an adulteress last night. The man said: O Allah! All praise is for You, in giving Sadaqah to an adulteress. I will surely give Sadaqah. He came out with Sadaqah and placed it in the hands of a rich man. In the morning people began to talk and say: Sadaqah was given to a rich man. The man said: O Allah! All praise is for You in giving Sadaqah to a thief, an adulteress and a rich man. He then had a dream in which he was told that his .Sadaqah which was made to be given to a thief, may perhaps result in his refraining frOm stealing, to the adulteress, so that she may perhaps refrain from adultery, and to the rich man so that he may perhaps pay heed and spend from what Allah had given
him. (Sahih-Bukhari)

Note: Because of this man's sincerity Allah accepted all three of this man's Sadaqat
