Riyad as-Salihin, 550
'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "There are forty kinds of virtue, the highest of which is to gift a (milch) she goat. He who practises any of these virtues, expecting its reward (from Allah) and believing on the verity of the promise made for it, will enter Jannah." <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.
وعنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم “أربعون خصلة أعلاها منيحة العنز ما من عامل يعمل بخصلة منها رجاء ثوابها وتصديق موعودها إلا أدخله الله تعالى بها الجنة” ((رواه البخاري. وقد سبق بيان هذا الحديث فى باب بيان كثرة طرق الخير)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The doors of goodness are numerous, and they are open to those who want to work. Deprived are those who are not guided to enter through them.<br>
2) The spending that is regarded as commendable in the Shariah and for which there is a great reward is conditional upon sincerity towards Allah Almighty. {And whoever does that seeking to please Allah - then We are going to give him a great reward.} [An-Nisā’: 114]
