Riyad as-Salihin, 1140

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him)reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "In the morning, charity is due on every joint bone of the body of everyone of you. Every utterance of Allah's Glorification (i.e., saying Subhan Allah) is an act of charity, and every utterance of His Praise (i.e., saying Al-hamdu lillah) is an act of charity and every utterance of declaration of His Greatness (i.e., saying La ilaha illAllah) is an act of charity; and enjoining M'aruf (good) is an act of charity, and forbidding Munkar (evil) is an act of charity, and two Rak'ah Duha prayers which one performs in the forenoon is equal to all this (in reward)." [Muslim].

وعن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏يصبح على كل سلامى من أحدكم صدقة‏:‏ فكل تسبيحة صدقة، وكل تهليلة صدقة، وكل تكبيرة صدقة، وأمر بالمعروف صدقة، ونهي عن المنكر صدقة، ويجزئ من ذلك ركعتان يركعهما من الضحى‏

‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) Charity is due on the joints in a person’s body every day in gratitude to Allah Almighty for endowing us with bodies and health. 2) The due charity can take the form of anything pleasing to Allah Almighty, be it a good word or deed or spending money in charitable ways. 3) The Duha prayer consists of two Rak‘ahs and it suffices in place of all these due charities. This is mercy from Allah Almighty.
