Abu hurairah Ra narrates that Rasullullah Saw said, " A man [ from Bani israil] decided to give sadaqah quietly atnight. He took it and placed it in a person's hand. In the morning , people started talking and saying. " last night, sadaqah was given to a thief!" The4 man said. " O Allah, To Thee be Praise! I gave it to a thief! I could do nothing if it had been given to a worse person'. He decided to give a sadaqah again on the following night and put it in a hand of woman not be a thief; he might have thought that a woman would not be a thief. In the morning the people were talking and saying, ' sadaqah was given to a prostitute last night.' The man said ' O Allah, to Thee be Praise! I gave it to a prostitute! My property deserved worse than that'. He decided to give a sadaqah a third time on the following night and placed it in the hand of unknown person. In the morning, the people were talking and saying,' last night, sadaqah was given to a rich man'. The man said 'O Allah, to Thee praise! I gave it to a thief, prostitute and a rich man'! He then had a dream in which he was told that his sadaqah had been accepted. It was given providentially to a thief so that it might result in his refraining from stealing: to a prostitute so that she might repent of the immorality and to the rich man to teach a lesson, so that he may spend out of that which Allah Swt had given him. Following the example of the pious who gave sadaqah, unnoticed".
