1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Zakariya al-Mu’min from Dawud ibn Farqad or Qutaybah al-A‘sha’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has narrated this Hadith. ‘Once, companions of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, asked a question. “O Messenger of Allah, we pray to Allah to keep our souls and the souls of ancestors in service for your cause; if people who provide Benevolent Assistance are recognized because of such acts, by what means will they be recognized on the Day of Judgment?” He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, “When Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, will admit providers of Benevolent Assistance in Paradise, He will command a wind that carries a certain fragrance to accompany them. Whenever one of them passes by the people in Paradise, they notice the fragrance and say, ‘This is one of the providers of benevolent assistance.”””
